Library | FAQ

Since September 2015, the ZU library is located at the ZF Campus (Fallenbrunnen 3). The last move took place in the period from August 17, 2015 to September 07, 2015 and brought the library from SeeCampus (SMH) to the ZF Campus.
As an information and competence center, the library is a contact point for internal and external interested parties. The use of the library is basically open to all guests.

Approach & Contact

The most frequently asked questions and answers:

1. Does the library have several floors?
2. Is the library located at SMH and FAB 3?
3. What happened to the former rooms of the library?

1. The library is located exclusively on the ground floor (EG) of the ZF Campus. The so-called "in-between rooms" ("Zwischenräume"), i.e. open spaces between the lecture halls, form a supplement to the library as group workstations without really belonging to the library.
2. The library is located at the ZF Campus in the Fallenbrunnen.
   
3. The former library rooms at the SMH now provide space for the "PioneerPort" start-up center

Media classification / systematics:
The media are arranged subject-systematically, so that content-related books are predominantly placed next to each other. The thematic focus of a medium is taken into account. The library of ZU uses the Regensburg Union Classification (RVK) as a classification system.

RVK:
RVK stands for "Regensburger Verbundklassifikation" / "Regensburg Union Classification". It is a classification system for the subject indexing of holdings in academic libraries. Numerous libraries use the RVK or create classifications based on the RVK. It ensures that media with related content are grouped together on the shelf.

RVK Online

The RVK Online offers an overview and a direct view of the classifications.

Lineup of media - implementation:

Signature:
Signatures are formed based on the RVK. The signatures identify the content and location of a medium in the library. They are listed in the catalog and indicated on the spine labels of the books. The media are sorted by signatures and placed on the library shelves in a freely accessible way. The sorting is alphanumeric.

A signature is composed as follows:

Example of a signature: AP 15400 M947 G8(14)

[1] AP 15400 [2] M947 [3] G8 [4] (14) [5]-DVD

1. Notation / position within the shelf classification
   
2. Encrypted last name of the first author (or similar)
   
3. Encrypted title of the original (Optional)
   
4. Year, edition, copy and or volume count (Optional)
   
5. Additions such as "-DVD" (Optional)

The endings from point 4 of the example signature have the following meaning:

• Year: ".9XX" / ".XXXX" Year specification. The year specification indicates a relevant year (annual report), but can also be used as an alternative to the circulation or volume count. For "19XX", the "1" is omitted. From 2000 on, the year is written out in full
  
• Edition: "(X)" edition count for different editions of a title (e.g. 14th edition = (14));
  
• Copy: "+X" copy count for multiple media of a title in the identical edition (e.g. second copy = +2).
  
• Volume: "-X" volume count for several volumes that belong together (e.g. volume 1 = -1, volume 2 = -2).

German and English editions can be placed under different signatures, but are usually placed directly next to each other. Often the signatures differ in point 3, since here either the spellings deviate or this is faked.

Note: Please note special locations of media. Media are not always located under their signature on the regular shelf.

The most frequently asked questions and answers:

1. Another systematics location would be a better fit. Is it possible to communicate this?
   
2. Can different editions of a book be in different systematic places?
3. Does the edition of a medium make a difference?
4. Are signatures unique?
   
5. Are signatures permanent?
6. Why are there different editions on a catalog title record?

1. If you have found an item that you think belongs in a different classification location, feel free to contact the library team.
   
2. In rare cases, this is possible. For example, if a book with many copies is part of the collection and covers more than one subject area, a double assignment may be made in exceptional cases.
   
3. Yes and No. A new edition can be an identical reprint, but it can also be an edition with changes. What "meaning" an edition designation has in a particular case must be examined individually. Generally, a newer edition (higher number) is considered to be presumably better, since it may have been revised. Exact information about the edition at hand can usually be found on the back of the main title page or also near an imprint.
   
4. The respective copy signatures are uniquely assigned to identify exactly one particular copy from the holdings in each case. Duplicate copy signatures should not occur and will be corrected as soon as they become known.
   
5. As a rule, signatures are permanently assigned and do not change. Exceptions, however, are adjustments to the systematic or individual corrections. The term "permanent" is therefore inapplicable, even though this will usually be the case.
   
6. [Simplified] If an edition is a reprint, it is associated with the earliest matching record, since there is no significant difference. The library will make this known via the shelfmark if it seems necessary. A "really" new edition gets its own record and therefore its own hit in the online catalog.

If necessary, have your library account blocked until the whereabouts have been clarified.

Borrowing:

How are items borrowed from the library?

1. You take a borrowable item from a shelf.
2. Present the desired media at the service desk for borrowing. ZU members also have the option of borrowing items themselves at the self-checkout device.
3. If you notice any damage to the item, please inform the library team directly so that this can be noted.
4. If the loan is successful, you will receive a loan receipt on which you will find the media and loan periods listed. Your loan is now recorded in your library account.
   

You will need a valid library account and your student or staff ID card, or other identification document (external users). All reference media are excluded from the loan.

Pick-up permission:

• Do media need to be picked up in person or can a person picking up/borrowing media be designated?
  

You can authorize a person to pick up media. To do this, you give the person a power of attorney, which you send to the library team by e-mail. Name the person and the media to be picked up. The media will then be charged to your library account and given to the person picking it up. The person picking up the media must show identification when picking up the media.

Reservation:
Reservations can be made for holdings items that are currently on loan or available for checkout. Also stock items that are in the processing or in the delivery process can be reserved.
Reservations cannot be made for available media.

This is how you make a reservation:

1. Search for the desired title via the online catalog (OPAC).
2. Switch to the full view at the search hit.
3. Click on the button "Request/Hold" to make a reservation.
4. The reservation is now complete
   

As soon as the desired medium is available for you, you will receive an automatic notification by e-mail. The reservation now changes to the provision or the provided medium. Media that have been made available will be available for pickup at the library's service desk within the specified period.

• A reservation interrupts the possibility of renewal for borrowers.
• The loan period existing up to that point (21 days) remains in effect.
• If the loan period is exceeded, a reminder process is automatically initiated.
• If you no longer need a reservation, you can delete it in your library account.
• Unclaimed items will be returned to the collection after the period has expired, provided that no further reservation has been made.

3. No, it is generally not possible to send media. The library lends media only via the service desk, directly to a person or sends media via the official interlibrary loan.
4. Please avoid passing on your student ID card, as the responsibility for actions via the card remains with the actual holder (see pick-up permission).
5. Interlibrary loan allows you to borrow items from the collections of other libraries. Further information on interlibrary loan 
6. [Reservation] Independent reservation via the online catalog (OPAC) automatically records all copies on a record (multiple copies; multiple copies of the same book of an edition on the same record). The next available copy will then be made available to you.
7. As long as your library account is blocked, no borrowing can be done. There are different causes and solutions for account locks, so please contact the library team directly.
8. No, the library team does not handle external loans for library users. As listed in 3, media shipping is also not available.
9. Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays (Baden-Württemberg) and other days set by the library do not count towards the loan period. The loan period stored in the library system applies. You can view the valid loan period in your personal online account.

Is it possible to return books from other libraries?
It is generally not possible to accept items from other libraries that are not part of the ZU Library's collection or interlibrary loan. The library does not assume custody, return or similar for foreign media.

Note: Do not place borrowed media on the service counter or media carts for return.

Reminder
If media are not returned on time, a reminder process is automatically started for each medium. The reminder process is terminated when the medium in question is returned.

If media are returned late, reminder fees will be charged. An overview of the time sequence of reminders and the associated fees can be found in the A-Z overview and in the usage regulations.

• You will receive reminders by e-mail.

Instruction - Interlibrary loan

Can a borrowed interlibrary loan be returned directly to the library from which the book came?
No. An interlibrary loan is sent from the owning library to an ordering library. The owning library thus briefly turns over the loan and return of the interlibrary loan to the receiving library. Consequently, a borrowed interlibrary loan must be returned to the issuing location where you received the interlibrary loan. An interlibrary loan that you borrow at the ZU Library service desk must also go to the ZU Library service desk for return.

Interlibrary loan charges for faculty members:
Interlibrary loans ordered for chair activities may be charged to the chair budget. For faculty members, interlibrary loan fees will be processed by the library team accordingly on a semi-annual basis.

The ordering party can pay interlibrary loans privately if desired.

Interlibrary loan fees for student research projects:
ZU students may also be eligible for assistance with interlibrary loan costs. Talk to the Student Research Department at an early stage and inform yourself about possible conditions. Interlibrary loans that have already been paid for cannot be subsequently charged.

The most frequently asked questions and answers:

1. Are all theses in the library?
2. A thesis is presented on the ZU website. However, it is not in the library. Can this thesis be consulted?

1. Not all theses are listed in the library. Some theses have not been released by the author and are therefore not available in the library. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact the Study and Examination Center.
2. Some theses (e.g. Best-Thesis-Award) may be presented on the ZU website. However, this is independent of the granting of a release for the library. If a final thesis is not shown in the library, it cannot be viewed.

In addition to printed works, there are also a variety of databases dealing with language. You can find a selection of databases via our DBIS

Search via the catalog and select a desired search hit. Go to the full display of this hit. In the view you will find the item "Export" in the right menu bar. Click on "Export" to display a list from which you can download a file for specified citation programs. The following programs are available for selection: BibTeX, Citavi, EndNote, ProCite, RefWorks, Reference Manger, Zotero.

After selection, a separate window opens for saving the file. Save the file on your terminal device and then call it up accordingly with your citation program.

Be sure to check with your supervisors and instructors for current and subject-specific requirements.

The term "magazine" refers to a work (printed work) under whose main title individual issues / booklets are usually published on a regular basis. Since the individual issues / booklets appear continuously, they can build on each other in terms of content, but usually contain very individual topics within the subject area of the magazine.
The contents of the issues are not up to date, which is also directly obvious from the way they are published.

Periodicals Database | Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB)

The periodical database "ZDB" is the world's largest database for title and ownership records of serial publications, i.e. journals, newspapers, series and periodicals from all countries and in all languages. The ZDB does not list articles.

The ZDB provides only a property record and thus no direct access to content.

Foreign ideas can also be quoted from journals. Foreign ideas, such as data, images or text passages, must be identified (bibliography, source citation). Various citation formats can be output via EDS-Journals.

There may be certain formats or specifications for the corresponding references/source citations. Be sure to ask your supervisors and lecturers about current and subject-specific requirements.

Impact factor (journal impact factor or impact factor):

An average value of the frequency with which articles from a particular scientific journal, from other scientific articles, were cited in other scientific journals, per year.

The impact factor ...

• is generated for selected scientific journals. (Not all journals worldwide are covered).
• represents the influence or impact of a scientific journal.
• enables a bibliometric comparison between listed scientific journals.
• is used to evaluate scientific publication performance and to select a journal suitable for publication.
• does not evaluate the quality of a scientific journal/article.
• should be interpreted with caution. A lower factor is not necessarily a disadvantage.
  

Impact factors are published centrally through Journal Citation Reports (JCR). For more information, visit clarivate.com

From a practical point of view, the interpretation of the factor is also about the resonance and visibility of the articles and the authors. A publication in a journal without a good impact factor is therefore sometimes seen as wasted potential, even though this may not be the case. In places, the topic can also be compared with the structures of social media networks.

ZU library has not licensed access to JCR!

Is it allowed to eat in the library?
Eating is generally prohibited in the library. The protection of the library stock and the furnishings are a particular focus here.
Please also keep in mind the general expectation of a clean workspace, as well as allergy sufferers who, for example, should not come into contact with various foods and do not expect to find them in the library.

Is it okay to drink in the library?
Drinking, from closed spill-proof containers, is accommodatingly allowed.
Mugs, cups, and the like, containers that cannot be tightly closed, are not permitted. The contents of such a container are not relevant for this purpose.

Tip: You are also welcome to encourage your fellow students to take a break together in the cafeteria to avoid eating in the library.

Tip: Thermos cups with a tight seal are ideal for coffee and tea and are kinder to the environment than disposable cups.

Can the library adjust the ventilation / temperature?
No, unfortunately the library has no influence on the setting of the ventilation/heating. All systems are controlled centrally. We are happy to share your feedback, but cannot guarantee any adjustments on short notice.

You do have the option of opening the courtyard doors for ventilation. To conserve ventilation, heating, and to protect against weather and atmospheric conditions, the doors should be kept locked or closed in the evenings, at night, and in inclement weather, if applicable. For example, if brief ventilation is desired at night, please feel free to contact the Site Management / Building Services team.

Does it make sense to keep the courtyard doors closed?
Closed doors allow optimal ventilation performance. In cool, more neutral weather, ventilation through the doors is possible and is also done by the library team. In the hot part of the summer, ventilation should only be done in the morning hours or hot air will enter the library. In winter, long ventilation should be avoided in order not to lose too much heat.

Literature tip: "The Valuable Medicine of the Forest : How nature strengthens body and mind" by Dr. Qing Li ; ISBN: 978-3-499-63401-7

A daily walk in the green does a lot. In Chinese medicine, the forest is considered a remedy for stress and exhaustion.

The following materials are available in the library:

• Printers & paper to fill the printers (White ; A4, A3).
• Research PCs
• Scanner & supervisory scanner
  

Available on request, for a short period of use, at the service desk:

• Staple remover (staple monkey)
• Ruler, sharpener & eraser
• Scissors & stapler

Outside the library and available if needed, you will find a binding machine for ring binding. The machine is located in the printer room, in the hallway downstairs between the blue and green stairwells.

We recommend having your own assortment of required work supplies. You are also welcome to borrow a locker for use and store your work materials there.

Tip: Inquire before exams about required materials (pen, calculator, etc.).

Tip: Depending on your needs, it may be worthwhile to have your own dictionary, as the library only stocks these as reference material or only in small quantities.
