We will show you the Stabi in a presentation followed by a tour. You will get an initial insight into the following subjects: literature research in the Katalogplus, lending and reading rooms, information on the library card and other electronic services.
You will learn something about the history and mission of the Stabi as Hamburg's largest academic general library. Tours generally take place on the first Wednesday of the month.
The handbooks, reference works and journals in the reading rooms are freely available and can be used on site. You can take books in the textbook collection and books in the self-service area of the lending centre directly from the shelves and borrow them straight away.
The majority of our collections are stored in closed stacks. Please place an online order via the Katalogplus catalogue. Ordered books will be available to collect from the lending shelves of the Lending Centre from 10 a.m. the next working day and books from the depository library will be ready from 4 p.m.
Monographs: 4 weeks
Journals: 2 weeks, can be borrowed from the reading room
Monographs: max. 3 times for 4 weeks
You can extend any loans yourself in your user account. A reserved book cannot be extended.
If a book is out on loan, you can reserve it in the beluga catalogue.
Book returns
Books borrowed from the Stabi can be returned during opening hours. There are fines if the books are overdue. Please note: The University's specialist libraries have different lending regulations.
For online interlibrary loans you need a valid library card for the University of Hamburg library system and a fee-based interlibrary loan coupon (€1.50), which can be obtained from the Stabi. Delivery usually takes around two weeks. Please ask the information Centre for detailed information on interlibrary lending and the library.
The Stabi is a popular place for studying and working. There are almost 90,000 books waiting for you in three reading rooms – a reference collection for 50 academic disciplines with handbooks and textbooks, reference works, standard monographs and approx. 1,000 specialist journals.
The Carl von Ossietzky State and University Library Hamburg (Stabi) is the largest academic library in Hamburg and serves as the central lending library for the University of Hamburg and the city's other higher education institutions, as well as being a general academic library for the citizens of the city and the metropolitan region. As a state library, it collects and archives publications published in Hamburg, as well as literature about Hamburg and the surrounding area.
Founded in 1479, its special collections contain a valuable historical stock, including medieval manuscripts, literary remains and autographs, rare and old prints, musical scores and maps. Together with the university's specialist libraries it forms the library system of the University of Hamburg.
