HWR Berlin library
The HWR Berlin offers its members a comprehensive library service at two locations.
- The libraries of the HWR Berlin will be closed over the turn of the year 2024/2025 from December 23, 2024 to January 4, 2025 inclusive.
Borrowing and returning in the university library
Media can be borrowed and returned in the library at both locations without prior reservation and without prior ordering of the media.
Use of the reading rooms
Workstations are available for you at both library locations.
During opening hours, you can use the individual workstations as well as the PC workstations and group work rooms. Registration is not required.

Library services
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.
Forgot Password?
Students simply change the library password via Bibkey after entering their general ID.
Good to know: The matriculation number in its long form is also the user number for the university library. You can find this when you create your library password using Bibkey.
Our service for teaching, research and administration: We will continue to be happy to scan individual articles from printed journals from the library holdings for you, taking copyright into account. Send us an e-mail for this.
The library's complete service portfolio is available to you during service hours.
The following services cannot be offered outside of service times :
- Specialist library information
- Information via telephone and e-Mail
- Payment of library fees in cash / discussion and processing of reminders
- Special loan of reference copies
- Processing of lost and missing items
