Courses at the University Library

Introductory events in the University Library: Guided tours

We offer guided tours of the University Library for first-year Bachelor's and Master's students every year at the beginning of the winter semester during the two orientation weeks. You will get to know the KU libraries and receive an initial introduction to their use.

There are separate guided tours for each of our five library locations - Main Library, Ulmer Hof Departmental Library 1, Aula Departmental Library 2, Hofgarten Departmental Library 3 (Historical Holdings) and Branch Library Ingolstadt. During a short tour, you will get to know the respective library and learn more about the subjects on site, the technical equipment and the work options in the reading room. We will also give you important information about borrowing, returning items and other library services.

For groups of five or more, you are welcome to make an appointment for a guided tour independently of the orientation weeks. Please contact us by e-mail at ub-schulung(at)ku.de or by telephone on +49 8421 93-21492.
