Fees
Did you miss the due date?
Via your library account (Katalogplus), you can keep track of the expiry dates for borrowed items.
If you exceed the expiry date, overdue notices will be sent.
The fees are based on the "Gebührenordnung der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky" in the valid version (Short Version - German only).
