Swisscovery and new library account registration
As of December 7, there has been important changes in many Swiss libraries,
including our own, all UZH libraries and ZB.
Swisscovery has replaced the previous library networks and research portals.
To be able to still use our library (and others), you will need to register again.
For all necessary information on dates, registration, background and new services, please check the NEBIS website.
Information as PDF download (PDF, 143 KB).
Information on SWITCH edu-ID from UZH central IT services.
Information on the most important changes on UZH News.
Once you have registered and logged into your account in swisscovery, you may notice that your loans from before December 7 do not show up. This is as it should be, since no user data were migrated to the new system due to data protection.
You can still check the due dates of your media borrowed before December 7 by logging into your old account.
The media borrowed after December 7 will show up in your new account in swisscovery. Their loan period can be extended manually, but this is not necessary because loan periods will be extended automatically until the maximum loan period as long as there are no reservations by other users.
