Workplaces

Individual Workplaces

The library offers a variety of workplaces with and without computers for users, where you can read and study in peace without the need to register. Please note that these are individual workplaces and working in groups is not possible here.

We would like to offer a workplace to as many users as possible. Therefore, we ask you to vacate your workplace if you need a longer break. In times of increased workspace demand, library staff will clear abandoned workplaces if they remain unused for more than 15 minutes.

In Kleve, desk partitions have been installed at the workplaces on the 2nd and 6th floors. Thanks to their sound-absorbing and room-dividing function, these partitions should lead to more concentration and undisturbed working.

Workrooms for open student work

The library has a workroom for open student work at both locations: In Kamp-Lintfort in room 01 02 220, in Kleve in room 18 EG 018. There you can work alone or in small groups of up to 4 people. Please make sure that the noise level is appropriate and close the door so that you do not disturb other users.

Group Study Rooms

Bookable group study rooms for up to 10 people in Kleve and up to 6 people in Kamp-Lintfort enable students of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences to work together undisturbed.

Reservations are not required for the use of the group study rooms, but are recommended due to the high frequency of use! When using the group study rooms, priority is always given to those who can show a reservation confirmation! Please note that room 01 02 215 in Kamp-Lintfort is a parent-child room and parents with children always have priority when using this room.

Reserving a group study room is done via an online booking for the respective location. You can reserve one or more of the available time slots online for your group if you have a library card. You are the contact person for the library and would be liable for any damage caused by the members of the group.

Stay fair and only book a room if you will actually use it! Please cancel the booking of the group study room if you cannot use it after all. To do so, simply click on the cancellation link in your confirmation email.

If the requested time slot is already reserved, you can join the waiting list and receive information if the booking has been cancelled. If a room is reserved but no group is present, you can use the room until the group arrives. In consultation with each other on site, two small groups can also use one room, as long as the number of 10 people in Kleve and 6 people in Kamp-Lintfort is not exceeded.

Please treat the room with care! Eating and drinking is also not permitted here, with the exception of water in closed containers. If you use media from the library's collection during group work, please place them on one of the book trolleys in the reading room afterwards. The furniture of the group study room may not be changed or supplemented by other library furniture without the consent of the library staff.

Individual Study Rooms

Students of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences who are writing a thesis can book individual study rooms. These should be used for at least 25 hours per week. Individual study rooms are reserved for a period of 6 weeks. 

Individual study rooms can be booked by borrowing the matching key from the library information desk. You will need a valid library card to borrow items. Proof of the registered thesis "Admission to the thesis" must be submitted in digital or paper form.

Prior ordering via Katalog PLUS is recommended, but not absolutely necessary. If you need to extend the period, you can do this via your library account. Renewals are made automatically 5 days before the end of the loan
period as well. If all rooms have been booked, you can make a reservation via Katalog PLUS. Returns can be made at the library information desk. Please note: Fees will be charged for the late return, loss or damage of a key.

Individual study rooms are only made available to one person for the duration of the reservation. You have the option of leaving your work materials in the room and locking it. Please treat the room with care. Eating and drinking is also not permitted here, with the exception of water in closed containers.

Parent-Child Rooms

The parent-child rooms of the library can only be reserved by users with a child. They always have priority over other users when it comes to using these rooms. In Kleve, the parent-child room can be booked by borrowing the matching key from the library information desk (see details under Individual Study Rooms above). You will need a valid library card to borrow items. In Kamp-Lintfort, the library staff will open and close the room for you. If the parent-child room is not reserved, it is available to all users.

You have the option of leaving your work materials in the room and locking it. Please treat the room with care. Eating and drinking is also not permitted here, with the exception of water in closed containers. For university members, mobile toy boxes for children are available at the university, which can also be used in the parent-child room.
