Lehmanns ordering platform Le2b

The Lehmanns ordering platform Le2b is an ordering portal for printed books, individual e-books or e-book packages.

Le2b has a convenient search menu, a duplicate checking with the ZHB holdings (see Webopac) and detailed product details, so-called fact sheets (very helpful when ordering e-books). Furthermore, the new publications service (Lehmanns Alerting Service, LAS) in which you can create and maintain your own profile lists, supports you. With the help of this service you get an easier overview of the book market and can simply send your shopping cart to the ZHB, where your orders are further processed.

If you do not have your own budget, you can still use this service. Please send us the name of the respective contact person (institute spokesperson or library representative) and we will forward your order requests there.

If you would like to work with the Le2b in the future, please contact the acquisition team of the ZHB (erwerbung-PleaseRemoveIncludingDashes-@zhb-flensburg.de; subject: teaching staff access Le2b)

Please send orders for media to the responsible library representative at your faculty. He or she will point out the ordering process defined for your faculty to you.

You can also contact the secretariat of your faculty. They are also in contact with the Campus Library.

• Faculty 1: Manuela Petersen
• Faculty 2: Manuela Petersen
• Faculty 3: Ingrid Schäfer
• Faculty 4: Manuela Petersen

Please use the order form which you can find on this page. It will facilitate the ordering process and minimize further enquiries.

In order to coordinate acquisition matters of FUAS and the Campus Library, each faculty of FUAS appoints a library representative.

Please see the list below for information regarding the current library representative of your faculty:

• Faculty 1: Prof. Pawel Ziegler
• Faculty 2: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volker Staben
• Faculty 3: Prof. Michael Krätzschmar
• Faculty 4: Prof. Martin Klem

Responsibilities

In cooperation with the teaching staff and the Campus Library the library representatives supervise the acquisition budget of their faculties. At least twice a year a budget meeting is held at the Campus Library. For acquisition inquiries, please contact Ms. Ruß.

The teaching staff of both Flensburg universities are responsible for maintaining the collections of the library. They are assisted in performing this task by the library staff.

The objective:

The aim is to keep the library’s collection up to date at all times. Furthermore, the resources are to be tailored to the needs of both teaching staff and students. Achieving this goal requires a continuous and thorough review of the collection by qualified staff, i.e. sorting out outdated editions or items that have become defective or unsuitable for use and replacing them with new ones.

How to achieve this:

In order to maintain a well-balanced collection, please take note of the following:

• Familiarise yourself with your collection: Inform yourself of the collection the ZHB holds of your academic field by consulting the RVK and the catalogue.

• Check the collection: How up to date is the literature that is available? What is the condition of particularly popular textbooks? Does the collection of the library reflect the current teaching contents? Is the literature you recommend available at the Campus Library?

• Make use of the budget for new acquisitions:  Please make use of your department’s library budget to improve the selection for your students.

• Get assistance: The team at the Campus Library will be glad to assist you in maintaining your collection. Please contact us. 

There are three basic types of media: print (e.g. books, journals), audio-visual (e.g. CDs, DVDs) and electronic (e.g. CD-Rs, e-books, data bases). All of these types are acquired and made available by the Campus Library.

The type of media often determines an item’s location in the library (shelving location) and the conditions of loan.

Delivery times may vary considerably:

• German language publications are usually delivered within a few days. 
• Books from abroad usually take 10 days to three weeks.
• E-books are often available immediately. In some cases it may take several days to activate the license.
• some older or seldom requested titles are only printed when ordered (Print on demand or PoD). This can take several days

In very urgent cases please let us know in your order.

Both universities announce a last day on which bills etc. can be handed in to be paid within the current budgetary year. This day is applicable for the ZHB, too. As soon as the library receives this date (either from EUF or from FUAS), a deadline for placing orders will be announced.

Please note that any orders placed after this date cannot be taken into consideration for the current budgetary year.
