Disadvantage compensation and services for library use

The Library and Information System (BIS) at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg has set itself the task of catering to the individual needs of disabled and chronically ill users. This includes assistance and services. The need for extensive assistance (e.g. copying an entire book) should be announced in advance.

Users with a disability card can apply for an extended initial loan period and are entitled to a telephone extension. In general, disabled and chronically ill users can take advantage of various compensations for disadvantages. These can be clarified in an individual consultation.
You can find more information on barrier-free working at BIS here.

There is also compensation for disadvantages for disabled and chronically ill students at Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences and Jade University of Applied Sciences. Please speak to the staff about this.
