Reservation of Workplaces

Bookeye - Overhead Scanner

In the entrance area of the Informatics Library, there is a book scanner for scientific purposes. The use of the scanner is free of charge.

The scanner can be used - within the limits of copyright - to scan essays from books or journals in grayscale or color. You may save the scans to your own USB stick in PDF or JPG format. (If a USB stick is not available, please ask at the Loan Desk of the Informatics Library. We offer USB sticks on short loan).

Huddle Room

The Huddle Room in the Informatics Library is a small meeting room in which 2-4 people can meet to discuss and present their ideas and work results. It is equipped with flexible furniture, a whiteboard, a 4k monitor and wireless BYOD presentation technology. This technology allows screen mirroring with AirPlay, Miracast and Chromecast, so no apps, dongles or additional software are required to share content wirelessly from a smartphone, laptop or tablet on the screen.

The Huddle Room can be reserved in advance.

Alternatively, the Huddle Room can also be reserved as an individual workstation, e.g. for an online exam or presentation.
