Seat Booking

Book a seat in our subject libraries and use the Mannheim reservation system MARS to manage your seat bookings.

• To book a seat in our subject libraries you need to hold an ecUM or a library card. Please log in with your Uni-ID and password. First-year students need to unlock their ecUM to have access to the University Library.
• You can only book a seat for yourself, not for others.
• You can interrupt your library visit for a maximum of one hour, after which your place will be released for other users.
• For members of the University of Mannheim, seat bookings are limited to 3 active bookings in one or more subject libraries.
• For members of cooperating institutions or users with a library card, seat bookings are limited to two active bookings in a subject library. From 4 p.m. you can additionally book a seat for the current day, provided that there are seats available.
• As soon as a day booked by you has started, you can make another booking.
• The green marking shows on which days and in which subject libraries seats are available. This information shows the booking status at the time the page is called up.
