You can register as a user online or at the information desk in Kiel or Hamburg. You need a valid ID and, in some cases, written confirmation of residency from the local registry office. Registration and user card are free.

The user card is valid for one year. If you want to renew it, please contact the information desk in person and bring the same documents as for the registration.

In our catalogue  you can place orders only with a valid  user card. If your card is invalid or blocked, contact the information desk, please.

Usually, books and journals can be picked up at the loan desk in Kiel or Hamburg 60 minutes after they have been requested. Items ordered from the other branch can be picked up on the next day, items from the external stacks within 5 working days after the request.

You can renew the loan period yourself in your user account unless the book has been reserved by someone else.

No. You can have books and copies of articles delivered to your home by document delivery.

You have found an article in a journal in the online catalogue. Make a note of the year, issue and page and click the link in the line „In:“. That’s the journal. Now you can choose your volume from the volume list and request it. If the required volume is not contained in the list, please fill out this order form.

If you have other questions regarding economic topics or literature search you can contact our Advisory Team at any time. Our Team Information in Kiel or Hamburg will answer questions on how to use the library.
