Your Library Account
All important details at a glance. Log into the Online Catalogue:
If you are a member of the University of Bamberg, you can login by clicking “Login for University Members” in the Login-Window.
If you are not a member of the university, please login with your Library user number and password.
Please be aware: if you login for the first time into the new Bamberg Catalogue, you will need to set yourself a new passwort. Do do this, please use the “Forgot Password” button.
In your library account, you will find
- a list of all your borrowed items, including loan periods,
- items requested through interlibrary loan and interlibrary loan copies,
- requests and hold requests,
- overdue items.
You can
- renew the loan periods of your borrowed items,
- manage hold requests,
- customise your search preferences for the Online Catalogue (go to Search Preferences), and
- and change your password (see User Details).
Renewals
You may renew the loan period of most items and interlibrary resources four times. However, the earliest you can request a renewal is six days before the end of your loan period.
Hold requests
Normally, you can request items that are currently in circulation. Please click on “Holdings” and then “Recall this”.
Changing your password
If you have forgotten your password or you try to log into the new Bamberg Catalogue for the first time, you can request a link so set yourself a new password.
Log off
Be sure to log out of your library account if you are working on a public computer (e. g. in a branch library).
