Service and advice
The lending team issues media under your user account and will answer all your questions on borrowing media and using the library. Media are usually borrowed using a library card.
At the main library (old campus) the inter-library loans team can order literature for you that is not held in any library in Graz.
In addition, you have the opportunity to get help with searching for literature in the main library and to commission comprehensive literature retrieval and bibliometric analyses.
Places to work and study
The library offers you quiet zones for reading, learning and working. At all library branches you find friendly and bright work spaces with and without computers. You are also welcome to bring your own laptop.
At the circulation desks we provide you with extension cords and connector strips for the duration of your stay.
Group rooms
For working with fellow students group rooms are available free of charge in the foyer at all three library branches. Please reserve group rooms via TU Graz LibrarySearch, by phone, by e-mail or on site at the circulation desk.

Foyer in the main library
If you prefer a more lively learning atmosphere, we recommend the foyer of the main library where you can work individually or exchange ideas in a group. In addition, there are vending machines for drinks and coffee, as well as a facility for printing, scanning and copying.
The foyer is open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.
Copying, printing, scanning
At all branches we provide you with multifunctional devices for printing, copying and scanning. To use them, you need credit on your TU Graz card or your library card. To load credit onto your card please visit Uniflow online or the Copy Shop of HTU Graz (German only).
Additionally, the library offers a flatbed scanner at the main library on the 3rd floor and book scanners at all branches. All scanners are free of charge.
WiFi
At the library locations Wi-Fi is available to all users free of charge. As a student or staff member of TU Graz, please use eduroam. If you do not have access to eduroam, please contact the circulation desk. Our library staff will be happy to provide you with a WiFi guest access.
Patrons on site can use all of the library's electronic resources regardless of the type of Wi-Fi access.
Cloth bags
Free cloth bags are available at all three library sites to take your books home with you.
These bags are collected from the library, washed in a laundry with social background and then made available to our users again. To make sure there are enough to go around, you can drop off your used bags at these stations.
With the cloth bag stations, we are conserving resources and working together to ensure greater sustainability.
Exhibitions and events
The libraries are used as venues for many events such as book presentations, talks and discussions. At regular intervals, the library also holds a book sale.
