Textbook Collections

On the university sites in Munich, Garching, Weihenstephan and Straubing, the University Library offers central textbook collections with study literature on various subjects.

How to find textbooks

Each collection includes frequently used core study literature in multiple copies. The books are freely available on the shelves and ordered according to the TUM classification system. All textbooks are listed in our Online Catalogue.

How to borrow textbooks

You can borrow text books locally or order at another branch library via the Online Catalogue. The guaranteed loan period for textbooks is four weeks after which our electronic library system will automatically renew the loan period by five months - if no reservation has been placed on the item by another library user. Please note that during the extension period you may receive an immediate recall and cancellation of the extension period by e-mail. Find out more about current return deadlines in your account display in the Online Catalogue.
