Kleve: Room 18 01 014 no longer available from 23 July 2025

From Wednesday, 23 July 2025, room 014 on the first floor of the library in Kleve will no longer be available for library users due to conversion work to an office.  Please use the room for open student work on the ground floor.

Changed opening and service hours during the lecture-free period

From Monday, 21 July 2025, up to Sunday, 14 September 2025, the opening and service hours of the lecture-free period apply at both library locations.

Due to staff shortages in Kamp-Lintfort until 24 August 2025, it may not be possible to answer library queries on site at certain times or on certain days. In these cases, please send your questions by e-mail to bibliothek@hochschule-rhein-waal.de. In emergencies, you can also contact the library information desk in Kleve on +49 2821 806 73 - 42215.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

E-resources: Changes to the search interface of the EBSCO Business Source Ultimate database

The search interface of the EBSCO Business Source Ultimate database has been customised by the library. The new interface offers improved browsing options and better navigation to make it easier to find company profiles, industry information, business data and market research. You can find the database in Katalog PLUS under ‘Additional Resources’.

Use of screen readers

The library now offers screen readers for people with visual impairments at both locations. The ‘Merlin Elite Pro’ screen readers have a magnification and read-aloud function for printed media and electronic content. 

If you are interested in using it, please email bibliothek@hochschule-rhein-waal.de to make an appointment. A mobile table with a screen reader, a laptop and headphones will then be made available to you in a quiet room. If you would like to use books from the library, we will also be happy to provide these on request. If you are using the devices for the first time, we will be happy to give you a brief introduction.
