1) The library is a central organisational unit of CAMPUS 02 . As a scientific library, it promotes research, teaching and study at CAMPUS 02.
2) The library’s collection consists of all items (books, journals, videos, audio cassettes, disks, CD ROMs, DVDs etc.) that have been included in the library system and are labelled as such.
4) Besides the library regulations, CAMPUS 02’s house rules and IT regulations are also in effect in the library.
The library is a reference library as well as a loan library. Items from the collection may be used in the reading areas or borrowed unless indicated otherwise in § 11.
1) Teaching staff, students and CAMPUS 02 employees as well as students and teaching staff of cooperation partners (The University of Graz and FH Joanneum University of Applied Sciences) (hereinafter referred to as users) are authorised to use the library. The Executive Board in agreement with the Head of the Library may refuse or revoke this authorisation at any time for good cause.
2) A person using the library services or borrowing items from the collection must be a registered “user“. In order to be granted the status of user, the personal data sheet must be filled in and signed. Library staff must enter the data into the library system.
3) By signing the personal data sheet and by being granted authorisation to use the library, the user expressly accepts the library regulations.
4) The library must immediately be notified of any changes to personal data.
The library staff use electronic data processing for carrying out their tasks and duties. Personal data (name, address, date of birth) are stored electronically. These data are treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
1) Opening times are displayed at the library door and, if necessary, can be modified by library management. They can also be accessed at the website: www.campus02.at.
2) The library is closed on Sundays, public holidays and on the 24th and 31st of December.
3) Library opening times in lecture-free periods and changes in opening times due to necessary organisational reasons are communicated via www.campus02.at and with a notice on the library entrance door.
1) Entering the library constitutes acceptance of the current version of the library regulations that are posted at the entrance.
2) Users must follow the instructions of the library staff and abide by library regulations. They are liable for damage resulting from non-compliance with these obligations.

5) The user is liable for any loss or damage to any items borrowed in his/her name.
6) The library decides about the type and amount of the replacement, and the way the new item is procured. If the item in question is no longer available, the user must reimburse the full value.
7) Under no circumstances must borrowed library property be passed on to third parties.

The library staff have the right to inspect the content of any folders, bags or similar items. If, upon the request of a library member of staff, a user refuses to produce the item in question, § 3. (1) may be applied.
Before being issued with their degree certificate, students must return any borrowed library items and settle any outstanding charges. The same applies to CAMPUS 02 employees before terminating their employment as well as to students who are not completing their degree programme. The library will confirm clearance.
1) The items in the library’s open access area are arranged according to subject area and are accessible to all. Users find the items themselves.
2) The literature used in the library is to be placed back to its original spot immediately after its use.
3) Before leaving the library, all items, including those in the user’s possession, must be presented to the member of staff at the issue desk for clearance if necessary.
4) On how to use the items of the library collections available, see § 6 (3-6).
1) Reference works are marked in colour.
2) Reference works cannot be borrowed and can only be used in the library. They include specific works of reference, loose-leaf collections, periodicals and journals as well as particularly valuable items or those that are difficult to acquire.
3) The library management may exclude individual items or certain parts of the collections from being borrowed or used if there is a good reason to do so.
4) Items that may not be borrowed under paragraph 2, may in exceptional cases be borrowed for the duration of one weekend or one public holiday by special permission. Exempt from this rule are journals, newspapers and items marked with a blue dot.
5) A student ID or other ID deposited at the issue desk, permits users to copy items, which may not be borrowed under paragraph 2, using CAMPUS 02’s photo copiers. The user is responsible for complying with all copyright regulations.

6) The library has the right to disclose the names of persons in group 1 upon request, if another user would like access to or copy parts of the item currently on loan to a person from group 1.
2) Persons in group 1 are under obligation to keep the items on loan to them in their offices. Upon request of another user, these items must be made available for reference purposes and/or to make photocopies within the shortest reasonable time. In certain cases, the library has the right to recall an item before expiry of the loan period.
3) It is, in principle, possible to renew items three times if practicable. Before granting a renewal, the library has the right to view the item in question. An item may only be renewed if the item has not been reserved by another user.
4) Reservations for items on loan can be made.
5) Permanent loans are not admissible.
6) The borrower is obliged to give an address (ideally, an e-mail address) where he/she can be contacted in writing at any time. If the borrower cannot be contacted for whatever reason, he/she shall be responsible for the consequences.
Upon expiry of the loan period, items on loan must be taken to the library’s issue desk. Outside opening hours, returned items may be placed in the return box.
1) If the borrower fails to return an item within the loan period, the library can charge fines for the item based on the expired loan period. Three days before the deadline of the loan period, the user is sent an email as a reminder. This is considered a voluntary service on behalf of the library, which does not assume responsibility in case the email fails to send or arrive.
2) If an item is returned late, the library charges the borrower a fine of € 0.50 on the first day after the expiry of the loan period, plus € 0.50 per item for each day the item is late. In such cases, the borrower will receive a first written reminder (e-mail). It is expressly agreed that such costs will also be incurred without a written reminder being sent or received (§ 15.6).
3) The fine for non-return increases four days after expiry of the loan period: the library will charge a fine of € 1.00 plus € 0.50 per item per day from the date of expiry of the loan period. The borrower will also receive a second written reminder (e-mail). It is expressly agreed that such costs will also be incurred without a written reminder being sent or received (§ 15.6).
4) The fine for non-return again increases eight days after expiry of the loan period: the library will charge a fine of € 2.00 plus € 0.50 per item per day from the date of expiry of the loan period. The borrower will also receive a third written reminder (mail). It is expressly agreed that such costs will also be incurred without a written reminder being sent or received (§ 15.6).
5) If the item is not returned after the third reminder, the item will be replaced and the borrower responsible is charged. If necessary, a law firm will be engaged to handle the matter.
6) For as long as the item on loan is not returned after the expiry of the loan period, and as long as there are outstanding fines to be paid, the user may not borrow other items.
1) As a special form of borrowing, persons in group 1 may set up their own quick reference collection in order to assist teaching and research tasks and the general running of the courses.
2) The owners of quick reference collections are responsible for the items contained therein and are under obligation to have these items available in their office at all times. Furthermore, upon request of another user, the items of personal quick reference collections must be made available within the shortest reasonable time for reference purposes or to make photocopies.
3) The number of items on loan as part of a quick reference collection must not exceed 30 items per person (cf. § 15,1).
1) Users can make a request for an interlibrary loan to obtain items that are not available in CAMPUS 02’s library. A fee (at minimum 4 Euro) will be charged for any expenses incurred by CAMPUS 02’s library as a result of obtaining items or copies via interlibrary lending. Interlibrary loans are subject to the lending library’s loan periods.
2) Users will be notified in writing when the items become available. Items that are not collected will be sent back to the lending library upon expiry of the loan period or upon request of the lending library.
3) Items obtained through interlibrary loans, unless otherwise specified by the lending library, are available for the duration of 14 days.
4) Any costs incurred, including costs for non-collected items, are charged to the user who made the interlibrary loan request.
5) The regulations of § 17 apply to items obtained through interlibrary loan and not returned within the specified period.
1) Taking away items that are not available for loan is possible during the opening hours, for the purpose of making photocopies. You will need to deposit a valid form of photographic ID to do so.
2) The user is responsible for complying with all legal regulations (in particular those of copyright).
1) A written (mail or email) warning may be issued in cases of any infringement of library regulations.
2) Minor infringements (such as loud and disrupting behaviour) may be punished by revoking user rights for the duration of two weeks. Furthermore, a personal warning may be issued by the library management. In the case of repeated infringements, user rights may be revoked for four weeks and/or the library management may issue another personal and written warning.
3) Serious infringements (such as deliberately avoiding checking out items and the security controls, changing personal data without notifying the library, wilfully damaging library property) may lead to the permanent withdrawal of library user rights. CAMPUS 02’s Executive Board will be informed of such infringements, which may subsequently result in expulsion or dismissal. All obligations resulting from the contractual user relationship continue to be in force even after expulsion.
1) These library regulations come into force on 17 October 2016. They can be amended at any time by the Executive Board of CAMPUS 02 in consultation with the library management.
