Have a look around and find your favourite study space. Of course we also have plenty of books and journals. These are placed on the floors according to its corresponding subject area. The library of the University of the Arts is located on the 4th floor. A special feature here is the media library. In the media library you will find DVDs, CDs, records and video cassettes of various genres, most of which can be borrowed.

You can scan free of charge and copy and print for a fee. Next to the Copy Center you will find a large group work room and our Vitralounge. Located in the basement is the open stacks for journals. Here you can find mostly older volumes of journals, both from the TU and the UdK. If the way to the first floor is too long or it is too crowded: there you will find 2 additional scanners free to use. The circulation department is located on the ground floor.

03:19 - Before we go there, another tip for TU students: We have a textbook collection where we purchase large quantities of textbooks for you, which can only be borrowed by TU members. All textbooks are available for non-TU students at least once on our floors. The self-collection area is located directly in front of the circulation desk. This is where the books you ordered are waiting to be collected and borrowed. To borrow books, simply use one of the lending machines. If you have any questions or problems, you can contact our circulation department at any time. We hope to meet you soon in the library. We are happy to support you during your studies.
