Discovery:
Loan + Return
Search
The library's discovery system replaces the library catalog. There you will find all books and media in the library. The “Everything” search also finds licensed digital content and open access publications.
Loan & return
All members of the KHM can borrow up to thirty books and films for four weeks. You need a KHM access card to borrow. The media in the Overstolzenhaus are freely accessible. Some books and films are kept in the library store at Peter-Welter-Platz 2. They can be picked up on request and ready to be borrowed the next day. Please return borrowed media in due time so that other members of the KHM can also use them. A return box is available in the library foyer for returning the media.
