Desk attachments and notebook stands

Desk attachments make it easy to alternate between sitting and standing. This helps to prevent back pain, especially during longer periods of studying.

Notebook stands support an upright sitting posture, because the screen is at eye level. This relieves the strain on the neck and shoulders. In addition to the notebook stand, you will receive a keyboard, a computer mouse and a converter for connecting external devices to your notebook.

They can be loaned for two weeks at the information desk on the ground floor of KIT-Bibliothek Süd during service hours. If there is no desk attachment/notebook stand available, you can reserve one via the KIT catalog. You will then receive an email from us as soon as a desk attachment/notebook stand is available for you.
For how long can I loan a desk attachment/notebook stand?
For two weeks.
Where do I return the desk attachment/notebook stand?
Return the desk attachment/notebook stand to the information desk on the ground floor during service hours.
Is there a charge for loaning the desk attachment/notebook stand?
