patron registration
Staff and researchers of MLU Halle-Wittenberg can register as patrons, as well as any persons above the age of 14. Underage persons need to have a written consent of their legal guardians. The library card usually remains valid for one year. Registration includes the acceptance of the usage regulations of the university and state library.

note on different types of patrons
Students at MLU Halle-Wittenberg accept the usage regulations of ULB with their immatriculation and are registered as patrons. For students at MLU, the student card (USC) is also the library card. A (new) registration is only neccessary if the patron account has not been used for more than three years.
MLU staff can register as patrons on every location of the ULB. Please bring your staff card, the registration form, official documentation (ID card, passport with residence information or residence permit) as well as the first page of their work contract. The latter is needed for the duration of patronship (oriented on the duration of the contract) and only has to be presented. The staff card is also the library card.
Regional patrons (non-MLU staff) have to register at the local lending desk (August-Bebel-Str 50). They will gain a library card after presenting the registration form and official ID.
Special conditions apply for research staff.

Another 14 days later, the third overdue notice will be sent via registered post at 10,00€ per medium. The singular fees are added, so there will be 17,00€ to pay per medium after the third overdue notice. Should the feed media not be returned after the third overdue notice, ULB will start a replacement purchase for the overdue titles.
Should the fees exceed 20,00 EUR or more, you will not be able to use your patron account, meaning you will not be able to borrow new media or extend lending periods.
