usage and service
The large holdings and services of the university and state library Saxony-Anhalt are available to students and staff of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg as well as all citizens. To borrow media and access our electronic ressources, you will need a library card.
The holdings of the university and state library Saxony-Anhalt can be found in the central library and twelve branch libraries.
While the holdings of the branch libraries are freely accessible by patrons, the holdings of the central library are kept in stacks and have to be ordered via our catalogues to view or borrow them.
Titles published more than 100 years ago may only be viewed in the library's reading rooms. Younger titles may usually be borrowed. Reference works, journal- or newspaper volumes, microfilms/microfiches, loose-leaf-collections and other special holdings are exempt from this. Monographic holdings that may not be borrowed from the reading rooms and branch libraries is marked by yellow shelf marks.
Titles that may not be borrowed from the central stacks will be made available at the reading rooms after ordering.
The main reading room provides options for viewing non-borrowable stacks orders and interlibrary loans. Work places, PCs, microform reading machines and multi-function machines for printing, scanning and copying are available.
