terms of use

The basis for use is the General Regulations for Use of the Bavarian State Libraries (ABOB in German). Borrowing is only possible with a library card.

In addition, the following guidelines apply:

• DIT house rules
• Privacy Policy of the library

terms of use for electronic offers (databases, e-books, e-journals)

• Terms and conditions of those providers, which can be found on their websites, apply

Generally speaking:

• Conditions regarding downloads and printing are determined by the provider
• Transfer of content to third parties is not allowed
• The use is only permitted for own, scientific purposes
• Systematic download is prohibited

copyright / data protection in electronic offers (databases, e-books, journals)

The use of our electronic offers (e-books, e-journals, databases) is possible within the framework of copyright law.

In addition, the licence agreements of the respective provider apply. The applicable licence conditions can be viewed on our homepage (E-books/Research & Databases) and on the providers' pages.

The electronic offers can be accessed via the library homepage, the OPAC or externally (Google or similar). Access is automatically established via IP check (with VPN connection outside the campus). With most providers, you can recognise by our logo/name that it is a product licensed by us.

You do not have to provide any personal data to access our licensed offers.

However, many providers allow personal registration for further functions (watch lists, bookmarks, saving search queries...). The use of such offers is voluntary. If a person decides to use them, the provider is the person responsible for processing personal data. The providers' data protection information can be viewed on their website. If corresponding offers are not used, this will not result in any disadvantages or restrictions for you in terms of pure access to the electronic offers.

In particular, we would like to point out that when using corresponding additional offers, data may be transferred to a third country whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and you may not have all rights and freedoms for the protection of personal data available to you to the same extent.

The application with the subject "User account" has to be sent to bib-service@th-deg.de at the Deggendorf location, to monika.stoeckl@th-deg.de at the Pfarrkirchen location, or alternatively by post (application 1 sheet - printed on both sides!) to the library of your location.

3) Choose an introductory course for the library or inform yourself on the library's website about the regulations and procedures regarding the use of the library.

The account is usually activated within 3 days after all documents have been submitted. There is no confirmation. Test the registration yourself via the OPAC after this period.

The keys can be borrowed at the counter with the library card and must be returned before the library is closed. This applies in deviation from the deadlines issued by the lending programme.

For the period of 24h operation, a special regulation for students applied in regards to returning the keys:

We only issue locker keys for the time of library use and expect them to be returned before closing time.

Deviating from this rule and from the deadlines automatically set by the loan programme, keys are returned from Friday 6 pm to Sunday midnight:

• It is only possible to return the keys once during this period, after that no further borrowing is possible
• Therefore, keep the key until Sunday midnight if necessary, but return it to the key box of the supervisor at the latest.

Carrels are individual or group study rooms. They are all open and can be used like the reading room spaces in the current Corona operation. They can be found on the upper and lower floors.

For more information on the carrels in ITC2, see ITC2 Library.

In the basement you can find a Follow-Me printer which can be used with your student card.

There is also a book scanner in Carrel 1 on the upper floor. All you need is a USB stick.
