HWR Berlin library

You can view loan periods in the library account and also independently carry out renewals, reservations and branch orders. For students, the user number is on the CampusCard under the word "Library". All other members of the HWR Berlin can find their user number under the barcode on their library card. You also use the access data you use for the library account for the EZProxy server within the HoWeR research portal.

Students register once via Bibkey using their general ID (Moodle data) and create / change a password for their library account here:

Please make sure that your password has 8 to 12 digits.

All other HWR Berlin library users can register at the library information desk. Please have your identity card and a document about your university affiliation with you.
