Create a library account

For information on what your library card can do for you, please see the page Library for External Users.

You must pick up your new library card in person at the library within 10 workdays. You will be notified via email once your requested account has been created, usually on the next opening day.

Please bring the following with you to pick up:

Your identity card (or passport with registration certificate or comparable official identification document with photo and address proving that you live within in Germany and within a 130 km radius of the HNU. Unfortunately, we cannot accept unofficial documents such as student IDs or documents without a photo or address (e.g. driver's license).
You must pay the 5 euro one-time account-creation fee on site; the following payment methods are available:
- The Campus Card payment function (the top-up machine in the canteen accepts banknotes of 5 euros or more and does not give change)
- Online payment via PayPal, credit card or direct debit
- Bank transfer

For whom does the account creation fee not apply?

Up front: agreeing to the account creation fee is a required field, which means you must always check the box.

The fee is not applicable in the following cases:

For individuals with an existing library account. For the unstaffed opening hours introduced in 2023, we will need to obtain consent for video surveillance via this form and will also update your contact details in this process.
For HNU graduates who still currently have an HNU student library account. In this case, since only the existing student account is being changed, the system will not generate an account creation fee. If, on the other hand, you no longer have an HNU student library account at the time of application, the fee will automatically be generated: if you do not wish to pay it, we will delete your account again so you do not have to pay it.
