You will need a PIN to use the self-service checkout machines or to pay your charges at the payment machines. You can assign the PIN via your user account.

Charges arise, for example, when you overdraw lending periods of borrowed media, when you borrow media via interlibrary loan, occasionally when making use of research services, or when using devices at the Makerspace.

You can pay charges at the service-desks at all library locations.
Another way to pay fines and fees is using the payment machine at the Central Library. To make a payment at the machine you will need your PIN number.

There is no limit to the number of media that can be borrowed.

Requests can be made online via the SLUB catalogue. To do so, please sign in to your SLUB user account with your user ID number and password.

Please go by the last two digits of your user ID number on the back side of your SLUBCARD. The self-service areas are divided into sections in which the media available for retrieval, including media of the non-lending collection, have been sorted. The last two digits of your user ID number indicate the section in which your requested media are located.

There are various reasons for a blocked account. You can read about them when signing in to your user account. Please contact the staff at our service desks at the library locations.

A medium is "in Transfer" when it is on its way from one branch library to another.

A medium is processed for several reasons and can therefore not be used. Please contact us.

You can return media at all library locations. At the Central Library, there is a machine that takes your media back during the general opening hours - returning media at the service-desks is only possible during the service hours. You will not need you SLUBCARD to do so. There are some media which cannot be returned at the machine. These include: audiovisual media (CDs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, video cassettes and records), notes with voices, as well as media borrowed via interlibrary loan and keys for book boxes.

In case of loss or damage of borrowed media you are under obligation to pay compensation. Please report to the respective circulation desk immediately. The staff then decides in what form you will have to compensate.

It is possible to extend the loan period of media five times. You can extend the period yourself via your user account, at the SLUBChat, by phone at +49 351 4677-390 or via the contact form on the SLUB homepage - as long as no other library user has requested the media. The extension period begins the day you initiate the renewal.

No, the extension of the validity of the SLUBcard is not possible via an online form or any other web option of the user account.

But you can renew the validity of your SLUBcard via the contact form on the SLUB homepage, via SLUB Chat or by phone at +49 351 4677-390.

For this purpose we need the following data from you:

• user number
• name, first name
• date of birth
• current address
• Students of the TU Dresden: photo/scan of your student ID or certificate of enrollment (in case of renewal by phone, please present it at the service desk during your next SLUB visit

If a work is " reserved", another user shows interest in this book. A further extension is therefore not possible.
We kindly ask you to return it on time.
