Price list for copying and printing of documents
The fees and charges are based upon the Bielefeld University Library Fee Schedule (effective from 3 Dec. 2007)
Overdue fees accrue corresponding to the length of time the item is overdue. You will not receive an overdue notice by mail. In your loan account you can check the borrowed items and the returning dates.
Please report the loss of a library item immediately to the Central Loan Department (A1-151). The replacement charge is the actual cost of it plus an administrative fee.
In case you have lost your library or immatriculation card, refer to the Central Loan Department (A1-151) for a duplicate.
You can order books or journal articles which are not available at Bielefeld University library via interlibrary loan from libraries around the world. The cost for an order is a handling charge which has to be paid irrespective of the fulfilment of your order. This handling charge will appear on your loan account immediately after you have completed the order transaction.
Postal notifications are subject to costs. If you want to avoid the costs, leave you e-mail address in your loan account.
For the use of the lockers a 2,00 Euro piece deposit is needed. For the use of the large lockers a utilisation fee is added.
If you lost your key, please refer to the Central Loan Department. After hours (later than 16:00 hrs or on weekends) turn to the security staff at the main entrance. In case we have to open the locker, the deposit will be withheld and you will have to pay the expenditure for the replacement of the lock.
Copies of microforms need to be paid at the Special Reading Room of the Reference Department.
Overdue fees, interlibrary loan orders and postage can be paid in cash in the Central Loan Department (A1-151) or transferred to the following account:
