The University Library of Regensburg and the OTH Regensburg Library will switch separately to the new open source system FOLIO at the beginning of 2025.

In preparation for this, there will be restrictions on renewal and reservation options for OTH holdings from November:

We will keep you informed of further developments.

Thank you for your understanding.
