Fees

Did you miss the due date?

Via your user account in the 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).

 

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,- €
