Service hours
Regular service hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm (subject to change on short notice). Outside of service hours, the library remains open without staff.
This branch library provides subject-specific literature in physics, astronomy, computer science, and media communication. All holdings are fully indexed in the online catalogue. A large selection of study-related materials for loan is also available at the Central Library.
Materials from this branch are identifiable by their shelfmark prefix “750/”. Special collections shelved separately include:
- “751/” – Physics education (Didaktik der Physik)
- “710/” – Departmental reference collections in computer science (kept at the respective institutes)
1 August 2025: RFID self-service now available
As in the Central Library and other branch libraries, users can now borrow materials from this library independently using the self-service terminals.
From 1 August 2025: Extended opening hours
In August and September, the library will be open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, from October onwards from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
