Workplaces and Equipment

Computer workplaces are available in all branches.

How can I log in to the computers?

Depending on which group of persons you belong to, you can log in with your university login or with your library login:

Uni-login

Identifier assigned by the University Computer Centre to all university members. Further information can be found on the page about the Uni-login.

Library-login

Combination of library number and associated password. It is necessary to change the default password in your library account in order to use our computer workplaces. About an hour after changing it, logging in should be feasible. Please mind that after a replacement of your library card or reset to default password a new one has to be set.

PhD students of Leipzig University (verification required) with a valid library card can apply for an individual study space. The spaces are assigned to a fixed date. It is not possible to extend this period.

A claim cannot be raised due to high demand. Upon receiving the key you accept the terms of use [dt. Schließfachordnung, PDF – 102kB, in German only].

For intensive writing and learning phases, you can book a carrel at three LUL branches. Carrels can be booked for 4 weeks. There is the option of 3 extensions provided that the place has not been pre-booked by someone else. You can check here if carrels are available at each branch and reserve one if necessary.
Please note that due to the high demand, it may happen that all individual workplaces are already allocated and have been pre-booked several times.

Once the maximum number of reservations is reached, the 'recall this item' button will be blanked out automatically.

Locations and equipment:

We offer space to study, work or collaborate. At several branches group study rooms are available. These rooms differ in size and equipment. Please see the list below:

Checkroom lockers

Free available checkroom lockers may be used during your stay. Please empty it when the respective branch closes. If a locker is not emptied by closing time or in case of lost key we will open it for a fee you will have to pay. Items not collected will be stored for 6 months and disposed afterwards.

Permanent Lockers

The loan of permanent lockers is only possible with a valid library card. Upon receiving the key for a locker / mobile book cart / workspace for PhD students you accept the terms of use [dt.
