Ordering, requesting and collecting books and other media

You can use the Passau Search Portal to order books from the closed stacks for borrowing. The books are usually ready for collection on the following working day by 11:00 a.m.

Books and media that are out on loan can be reserved in the Passau Search Portal. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as a reserved medium is available. It is not possible reserve books in the reading room collections.

• Ordered books
  Books that have been ordered or reserved from the Passau Search Portal are made available in the collection area of the Central Library. Pick up the books and have them checked out at the circulation desk. The books remain on the collection shelf for exactly seven business days, after which time uncollected items are moved back to their original locations. If you specified the Bavarian Regional Library Passau as the collection place when ordering, the books will be delivered to Michaeligasse 11.
• Interlibrary loan requests
  Books requested via interlibrary loan are made available in the collection area of the Central Library for a period of two weeks. Interlibrary loan photocopies can be collected from the borrowing desk.
• Textbook collections
  Books from the textbook collections (location code 17) can be taken directly from the shelf and checked out by students. Textbooks that have been reserved are not available for collection in the collection area of the Central Library, but should be picked up at the corresponding reading room desk.

Using your library account (login) you can check your loans, orders, reservations and delivered photocopies.
