Library Policies

The library of this institute is a reference library. Circulation is allowed inside the institute only. Special reference materials, however, that are marked with a red band, must not be taken out of the library. The members of the institute are the predominant users of this library. Furthermore all reference materials are available to the members of the Golm Campus. Visitors from outside the Campus must report to one of the librarians. By entering the library all users accept these Library Policies.

Visitors of the library are obliged to handle all reference materials with due care. Smoking, eating or drinking in the library is prohibited.

Usage
