Video Collection: Terms of Use
- Interlibrary loan and (e-)mailing/shipping/uploading of copies are not possible!
- Entitled to borrow videos are all holders of a valid library card of the Vienna University Library The library card has to be shown on each occasion of borrowing a video.
In order to be able to use the video library's online catalog and order videos for borrowing, you also need a u:account with an active e-mail address from the domain "univie.ac.at". When applying for a library card, non-members of the University of Vienna receive a u:account without e-mail functionality.

To order videos an account (Konto) has to be created in the catalog.
