Due to the current situation, all loan items have been automatically renewed until March 8, 2021. 

The Library has recently expanded its services with a new overhead scanner: our new top-side scanner scans books, journals, and other material which is opened normally from above. Texts can be scanned quickly, easily and free of charge. A book image correction tool automatically corrects curvature and distortion in bound material and cleans up scans as they are produced. Scans can be saved as PDF, TIF, or JPEG. Use the integrated OCR engine to create searchable PDFs from books and other documents. Storage is currently on USB devices only. Be sure to have your own memory stick with you when scanning. If you have any questions, please contact the library staff at the information desk.

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.
