Workplaces and Equipment
Please note that desks must be booked in advance if you are planning to work in the library. Desks can be booked on seats.ub.uni-leipzig.de. You’ll need your library membership number and password.
From November 5 to the end of November 2020, desks can only be booked by members of Leipzig University to further minimize any contact in all branches. Existing reservations by non-university patrons will be cancelled.
Fair play when booking workplaces
In the interests of all users, please only book periods which you will actually use and cancel reservations if need be. If you decide to leave early, please free up your desk for others by cancelling it, or notify the library staff via chat, ticket or personally at the service desk – otherwise no one else will be able to use it. We reserve the right to allocate unoccupied desks to other users.
