This is the Conversation Forum for How to Get the Best Out of a University Library << Deadlines and empty shelves. BIDS... >> Subject: "Handapparate" Posted May 18, 2003 by Methos (one half of the HHH Management)   Posting 1 Okay, this is more a question... In Germany there is something called the "Handapparat" wherein you can find all the books your teacher decided are basics for whichever course you're taking. The books in the "Handapparat" cannot be taken home, so that everybody can always get them to work at the library. Does something like that exist in other countries, too?

The items in this collection can be taken out but only for a short period - for a few hours or overnight. Sometimes these things are not allowed to be removed from the library, but are nevertheless 'borrowed' by the student/whoever, so that the library knows where the book is!

You can borrow books from a "Handapparat" over night or over the weekend, too. Methos Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
