The loan period is usually 28 calendar days.

You will receive a reminder email before the loan period expires. Nevertheless, please keep an eye on all loan periods, as not receiving a reminder email does not entitle you to a waiver of any fees that may be due.

How can you renew your borrowed items by yourself?
It is possible to extend the loan period online without presenting the items at a SLUB service desk, provided they have not been put on hold (reserved) by another user. Please note that the new loan period always starts from the day the extension is initiated. Reload the page "My account" to make sure that the new return date has appeared.
