  • Fill in the form and send it
  • To activate your NEBIS account, you should personally come to our InfoDesk with your student or staff identity card. Further, we would need to know your personal ID assigned to you during registration.

Collection library ETH-HCI

If you wish to collect the documents ordered online by you with NEBIS from the Information Center, then select "ETH-HCI" as your "Home Library" while filling in the online registration form.

The above service is available to the staff and students of the departments of D-CHAB, D-BIOL, and D-MATL only. Other users must collect the ordered documents from the "Baubibliothek" or "Depotbibliothek" or ETH Library.

Ordered documents can be collected Monday-Friday, 8-18h.

You may let the ordered documents come in by mail, but it is costly.
