Library account (Online catalogue)
In your library account, you can:
- view your personal details, fees, loans and reservations
- renew loans
- cancel reservations
- change your password
You will need a library card to borrow items. At the HfM, this is the thoska (Thuringian University and Student Services Card).
If you lose your thoska, please report it immediately at the counter to prevent unauthorised use.
Your thoska also serves as a payment card for the library’s photocopiers.
Library login (renewals, requests and reservations)
You will need your library login details for all the services offered by the online catalogues.
It consists of:
- Library card number: the 10-digit number below the barcode on your thoska
- Password: the first 3 letters of your surname are set by default
You can change your password at any time in your library account.
If you have forgotten your password, please contact the library staff.
University login (PCs, email, shibboleth)
You will need the university login details provided by the Service Center for Computer Systems and Communication to log in to the library’s computers and for your email correspondence.
If you wish to access the HfM’s online resources (databases, e-journals, etc.) from off-campus, log in via Shibboleth using your university login or download VPN access.
Please note the relevant privacy policies of the providers/publishers and the information regarding data processing that takes place during registration.
If you encounter any problems with your university login, please contact the Bauhaus-Universität’s IT Centre directly: https://www.uni-weimar.de/de/universitaet/struktur/zentrale-einrichtungen/scc-rechenzentrum/
