Who did not make the experience of stress prior to the examinations? In order to assist students of Chemnitz University of Technology to prepare at the best for their examinations, the University Library (UL) offers to them several opportunities at the same time during the central examination period – this time even a very special one. Thus, the University Library opens again every day until midnight until March 7, 2026. From the “Long Night of Postponed Course Papers” on February 5 until February 13, 2026 it may for the first time even be used 24/7 – which means all around the clock. In that way, the University Library fulfills a long-time wish of its users. Accordingly, it expects a high frequency also in the night.
Also until March 7, 2026, four additional teamwork places are provided every day, which may be booked online in advance via an reservation system (mytuc.org/hwfc).
Organizational information: Bookings are possible daily for the periods from 9 am to 01 pm, from 01 pm to 5 pm and from 5 pm to 10 pm respectively. For the usage of the additional teamwork spaces at the IdeenReich on Saturdays and Sundays, the booking has to be done the respective Friday before until noon at latest. The working spaces may be used by groups up to 10 persons. However, the registration has to be done by one person serving also as contact person for the UL then.
The information and service desks are not staffed on the seven Sundays within the examination period. This means, that users may work in the UL and also borrow and return media from its collections via the self-checkout and return machines, but may not pay charges or ask for making changes at their user data. This applies also to weekdays from 07 pm to midnight and to Saturdays from noon to midnight. However, in case of inquiries, the guard at the ground floor next to the main entrance may be contacted. During the 24/7-opening hours, within the period from midnight to 09:00 am, the University Library may only be entered via the main entrance by the TUCcard. For that, the card has to be presented to a scanning device next to the doors.
