The Senate of the University of Bonn has agreed a new set of usage regulations for the Bonn University and State Library. These were published in the Official Announcements of the University of Bonn, Year 52, No. 65 of December 21, 2022 [https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11811/10536] and entered into force on December 22, 2022. They replace the USL’s terms of use dated February 22, 2016 (Official Announcements, Year 46, No. 7, February 24, 2016).
New library system
The USL’s usage regulations have had to be amended because, like all university libraries in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the USL is introducing a new library management system in which some personal data (users’ master and usage data) is also processed in the cloud.
The new system will begin trial operations in February 2023 and is expected to go live in August 2023.
