Theology
According to the infection protection concept of JMU (as of 01.06.2022), the following applies to the use of the University Library:
- In buildings and enclosed spaces of the university, the recommendation to wear a face mask applies, especially where a distance of 1.5 m to other persons cannot be safely maintained.
- 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 specialist literature on Catholic Theology studies.
The shelf marks of these items start with "200/“ and "201/*".
- Persons showing symptoms indicative of COVID-19 disease such as cough, cold, sore throat, fever (≥ 38.0°C), loss of smell and taste are excluded from entering the library.
- The recommendation to wear a face mask applies, especially where a distance of 1.5 m from other persons cannot be safely maintained.
