Law
According to the infection protection concept of JMU (as of 21.04.2022), the following applies to the use of the University Library:
- There is a requirement to wear a medical face mask on meeting and circulation areas in buildings and enclosed spaces, unless a minimum distance of 1.5 m from other persons can be safely maintained.
- Specifically, there is also no requirement to wear a mask at a fixed seating or standing area, provided the minimum distance is reliably maintained.
- If bookable group workspaces are used by more than one person at a time, a medical face mask must be worn there.
- Most learning and computer workstations in the University Library may be used without prior reservation. The learning workstations in the small reading rooms of the Main Library and in individual zones of some departmental libraries remain reservable.
- In the departmental libraries ZOM | ZIM and Dental Clinic, access is still restricted to medical students, the test modalities are as currently specified by the UKW for medical students. FFP2 masks are still mandatory. At a fixed sitting or standing place, the mask may also be removed there, provided that the minimum distance is reliably maintained.
All online services are available without restrictions. We recommend that all members and students of the university primarily use our wide range of e-books, e-journals and databases.
In the departmental library you will find the borrowable media of the law textbook collection as well as a non-lending reference collection of special legal literature.
The media of the textbook collection can be identified by the call number "80/", the media of the law reference collection by the call number "250/".
