For a one-time activation of the Amboss campus license go to: http://han.medunigraz.at/han/amboss-campus/
 
For activation you need an active user account (see link above).

Due to the current tense situation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic we have to inform you that the university administration decided to tighten regulations for visiting the library and the learning centre:

With IMMEDIATE EFFECT all visitors are required to wear a face mask at all times visiting the library or the learning centre. This regulation also applies when you are at your working place in the library or the learning centre!

All previous distancing and hygiene regulations are still valid:

• Visiting the library is with a locker key only.
• Before entering the library use hand sanitizer in the foyer.
• During your stay in the library a regular and thorough hand washing is recommended (soap and hand sanitizers are at your disposal in all sanitary facilities). 
• Maintain at least 1.5 meter safe distance between yourself and others in all areas of the library.
• Chairs positioned in the study areas are in compliance with safety distances and must not be moved.
• Desks, keyboard and locker keys will have to be disinfected by any patron after visiting the library (disinfectants and disinfecting tissues are provided at the information desk).
• Please note the floor markings at the information desk.
• Instructions given by library staff must be followed at all times.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Construction activites on the Medical Campus – Modul 2 (Western Part) are in full progress and will be intensified in future. As a result pedestrian flow, construction traffic, and public transport (tramway) cross the ZMF forecourt under confined and increasingly unclear space conditions. To minimize the increased risk of accidents when crossing the ZMF forecourt, responsible authorities and construction site supervision decided to redirect pedestrian flow (visitors, patients, students, hospital staff in particular) right from the tram stop (Klinikum Mitte) by appropriate signs towards the stairs and elevators at the entrance area (near supermarket Billa).

Access to the library/ZMF main entrance will be closed to the public with immediate effect until completion of construction works. 

Access to the library will be by the pedestrian bridge ZMF/Klinikum opposite the ophthalmic clinic (Augenklinik), then the staircase and ZMF foyer only.
