Students of the university accept the “Regulations of Use for the University Library Greifswald” with their enrollment at the university. So there is no need for a seperate registration. The electronic Student ID-card has a barcode and a user number of the university library on its back side and can be used immediately. For using the self-service machines, but also for access to the user account, a password for the account is needed. There is a button “Request/change password” at the login-website of the user account.
