How lending works?
The university library is a public library.
It is both a reference and lending library. 30 books can be borrowed simultaneously for four weeks. The lending date can be extended by a further four weeks if no reservation exists.
User ID
- You will need the DHBW VS ID card to borrow books.
- External users can obtain a library ID by paying a deposit of €10.00. A valid identification card is required for registration.
- Lecturers at the DHBW VS can use the university library, and further information in this respect is contained in the library guidelines for lecturers.
Users are asked to please inform the library staff of any change of address.
Returning books
Books can be returned in the library, Building C, Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 30 during opening hours. DHBW-VS books and media can be returned using the check-in station in Schramberger Strasse 26. This station will not accept any media from the interlibrary lending service! The unit is on the ground floor of the building and can be used during normal opening hours.

E-mail service
The library provides a reminder service free of charge. You will receive a reminder in each case two days before the lending period expires and a request to return the media or extend the lending period. Notification that interlibrary books or reserved media have been received is also realised by e-mail. Please note the following: E-mail reminders are an additional service provided by the library and, consequently, not legally binding. Please examine your lending deadlines in the library account or on the lending receipt! The library cannot offer any guarantee for the delivery of the e-mails.
