Goodbye "project loan bill" - hello barcode!

From the win­ter se­mes­ter 2024/25, the ma­nu­al­ly com­ple­ted pro­ject loan form will be a thing of the past. Sheet mu­sic for all up­co­m­ing uni­ver­si­ty con­cert pro­jec­ts (choir, or­ches­tra, en­sem­bles...) will be boo­ked to your li­bra­ry ac­count, just like other me­dia.

What does not chan­ge:

• The loan pe­ri­od for pro­ject ma­te­ri­als al­ways ex­pi­res ap­pro­xi­mate­ly 7 days af­ter the last con­cert/pro­ject day.
• Exac­t­ly the copy that you pre­sent to us when you re­turn it will be boo­ked as re­tur­ned - re­gard­less of whe­ther you swap­ped the sheet mu­sic in the rehe­ar­sal. AT­TEN­TI­ON: This me­ans that pro­ject co­pies may still show up as bor­ro­wed on your ac­count even though you be­lie­ve you have han­ded in the sheet mu­sic.

What will chan­ge:

• Pro­ject sheet mu­sic will be posted to your per­so­nal user ac­count upon pre­sen­ta­ti­on of your li­bra­ry card. You no lon­ger have to fill in the pro­ject loan form.
• You will re­cei­ve a one-off, au­to­ma­ted re­turn re­min­der 7 days be­fo­re the end of the loan pe­ri­od - just as you would with other me­dia lo­ans!
• For pro­ject sheet mu­sic that is not re­tur­ned on time you will be re­min­ded in­di­vi­dual­ly and au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly af­ter the grace pe­ri­od of 3 days - but not at wee­kends. This me­ans that fees are char­ged for each in­di­vi­du­al score / each in­di­vi­du­al copy.
• The re­min­der in­ter­val is al­ways exac­t­ly 14 days.
• You can find all lo­ans in your user ac­count.
• It also makes work much ea­sier for li­bra­ry staff in terms of re­min­ders, re­min­ders, de-re­gis­tra­ti­on and boo­king.
