Fees

During the current restrictions you can find information about overdue notifications and fees in our blog "News from the WiSo Library" and/or in our FAQ (CoVid 19).

Did you miss the due date?

Via your user account in the Campus Catalogue, 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 (German only).

 

Overdue	Fees
For the first week	1,- €
From the second week	2,- € additionally
From the third week	5,- € additionally
From the fifth week	10,- € additionally

Please note that the date you return the item determines the amount of the overdue fees you will have to pay. For this reason, the employees at the circulation desk of the WiSo Library do not provide any information regarding estimated fees.

Did you loose an item and a replacement is needed?

Loss	Fees
Loss of a book cart-key or a locker-keycard	20,- €
Replacement of a library card	10,- €
Loss of a borrowed item	Price of a replacement copy* + 30,- €

* You have to purchase the necessary replacement copy yourself.

In case of any further questions feel free to contact us at the circulation desk of the respective library.
