The University Library of Chemnitz University of Technology provides carrels to adherents of the University for temporary usage. The carrels are adapted for wheelchair users/ barrier-free. They are located at the 4th level of the building of the University Library and are also accessible for physically disabled persons via an elevator.

The carrels may be reserved by a booking system. For the reservation as well as for the usage of the carrels, no charges will be raised.

There is no legal claim on the provision/ usage of a carrel.

The reservation/ usage right of a carrel is not transferable meaning that those cannot be forwarded to other persons.

In case of non-utilization / illness / prevention etc. with regard to the reserved date, the reservation has to be cancelled as timely as possible subsequent to emergence by information to the address of the confirmation email, via email or via phone (+49 371 531-13180) to the information desk of the University Library in order to release the carrels again.

During the period of usage, private items and borrowed media from the collections of the Library of Chemnitz University of Technology may be stored in the carrels. From this does not derive any liability of the University Library for loss or damage. Non-borrowed media, media from reference collections as well as journals have to be put back at their original place at the same day. In this respect, the University Library reserves the possibility of inspections without prior notice by its responsible staff.

By reservation, the Usage regulations of Chemnitz University Library (PDF) ) are automatically accepted. In addition, the users commit to exclusive proper usage of the carrels. This includes i.a.

• that usage happens only within the reserved period of time by the number of persons determined for the respective spaces,
• that no food and beverages (except of water) are brought along and being consumed in the carrels. For this purpose, exclusively the designated areas within the building of the University Library or outside may be used,
• that no materials are stuck to the walls and te inventoryand that the walls and inventory must not be removed or damaged.

Infringements may lead to exclusion from usage up to indemnification claims of the University Library.

In case of failure of the closing mechanism, the information desk of the University Library resp. the guard have to be contacted. Unauthorized activities in this respect are strictly prohibited.

It is permitted to take along own technical devices serving directly at the support/ implementation of the academic work (e.g. notebook, smartphone in mute mode) to the carrels but no other technical equipment (e.g. coffee maker, electric kettles etc.).

The carrels may only be used for silent activities. Due to the openness of the area and the proximity to other users, videoconferences or other sound-generating programs must not be implemented.

The Library is not liable for loss or damage of individual property being left in the carrels during or subsequent to their usage. Lost items will be forwarded to the Lost and Found Office of Chemnitz University of Technology and may be collected there, if applicable.
