Media marked with a red location mark, such as journals, cannot be borrowed. This also applies to holdings that are particularly worthy of protection for conservation reasons.
A valid library card or student ID for the current semester is required for borrowing materials.
Return of borrowed media
Books borrowed from the departmental library can be returned to the departmental library or to the return terminals in the Main Library. The two terminals on the outside of the Main Library building (about 50 meters to the right of the entrance in the direction of the Mensa) are also available outside opening hours.
Please send returns by mail as a package to: Teilbibliothek AGR, Philosophiegebäude, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg. The date of receipt of the mail is decisive for the timely return.
