The library catalogue allows you to view the library’s holdings from anywhere. Here you will find printed media with their locations as well as our digital offerings, such as licensed e-books, journals, articles and open access publications.
The library catalogue shows you
- whether the book you are looking for is owned by the library,
- where a book is located in the reading rooms,
- whether a book is currently available,
- whether and until when a book is on loan.
You can also use the library catalogue to:
- request books from the stacks free of charge using the ‘order’ button,
- reserve borrowed books free of charge,
- order books that we do not have in stock from another library in Germany via interlibrary loan,
- access digital media directly (only possible for TU members outside the library).
You can start a search in the catalog via the search box on the homepage, for example by entering:
- keywords from a book title and the author’s surname, or
- keywords relating to a specific topic.
You can narrow down your search in advance using the drop-down menu next to the search field (‘All fields’) if, for example, you are looking for a specific title, journal title or author. You can then refine your results further using the filter options on the right-hand side.
If these options are not sufficient for your research, you can find more tips for searching the catalogue here.
