Reserve Collections

Information for students and lecturers

In the temporary reserve collection, lecturers have the opportunity to compile relevant literature for their courses. The books are not available for loan for the duration of the course, ensuring that all students have the same access to the materials on-site. In the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum, the temporary reserve collections are located in Area F on the 2nd through 4th floors.

In Primus, the entire list of literature can be accessed. In the advanced search in Primus, you can specifically search for the HU course number and the HU course name. The HU course number corresponds to the event number from the course catalog of Humboldt University. In the HU course name field, you can search for both, the title of the event and the name of the lecturer.

Further information for lecturers

If you are a lecturer at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and would like to have literature on your courses compiled for your students in a temporary reserve collection, please send this completed form with your literature requests to ub.semesterapparate@hu-berlin.de. Please send the form to the above e-mail address by 15.03. or 15.09. so that the shelf is ready in time for the start of the semester. Media lists can be edited or supplemented at any time. Journal issues and volumes are not included in the temporary reserve collection. These are generally not available for loan and can be found at the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum on the 1st and 2nd floors. They will, however, be listed in the literature and media list, just like the electronic titles.
