• Access authorisation for buildings, rooms and barriers.

The library card is handed out by the ThULB if the person concerned does not already have another valid thoska from the University of Jena or another institution of higher education in Thuringia.

The thoska can be purchased for EUR 10.00 at the ThULB's Central Circulation Desk upon registrationExternal link. Before being issued to library users, each card is registered in the library system and printed with the cardholder's surname and first name.

A replacement card can be purchased from the ThULB for EUR 10.00 if your thoska is lost or damaged.

If you lose your thoska, please have it blocked immediately at the thoska office. The University of Jena accepts no liability for unauthorised use of lost cards by third parties. If you are a user of university libraries, e.g. in Erfurt, Weimar etc., your card must also be reported lost there.

Unblocking in the application systems (e.g. at the Thuringia student services organisation, the ThULB Jena, the electronic access control system) is usually done immediately, but may take longer in special cases. Your card should then work again as usual. If a new thoska card has already been issued in the meantime, please do NOT throw away the recovered card. Any credit on the recovered thoska can be refunded.
