Cooperation with other libraries in Bamberg
Network of Bamberg libraries
The Bamberg University Library cooperates with the Diocesan Library. This enables our users to request items from the Diocesan Library via the Bamberg Catalogue and order them to any branch of the University Library or the other way around.
You can return items at any of the branch libraries or at the State Library.
In the Online Catalogue, you will furthermore find some books held at other libraries which you can only read on site, e.g. at the Seminary Library or at the Library of the City Archives.
University Library cards are also valid at the Diocesan Library and the Seminary. Similarly, you can borrow books from the University Library using a library card issued by the Diocesan Library or the Seminary.
Cooperation between the University and State Libraries
The Bamberg University Library collaborates with the Bamberg State Library.
Items held by the State Library can be researched in our catalogue. As a rule, you can request most items to be delivered to one of the University Library’s branch libraries. You will also find a link to the item's record in the State Library’s catalogue.
Items that cannot be requested via the University Library must be borrowed or used at the State Library.
University Library cards are also valid at the State Library once they have been activated there.
