Login issues Libby App

Some users might experience some issues using the Libby App for downloading new ebooks or audiobooks.

Please find below some advices that may solve the issues.

Bitte scrollen Sie nach unten für Erklärungen in deutscher Sprache.

  1. Did you already reset your a-z.lu password?
    On 30 Nov 2022 our new library system ALMA was launched, that’s why all a-z.lu passwords have been reset. If you haven’t login since then, please click the “reset password” link in the description and follow the instructions.

2. I have already reset my password, but my old loans aren’t visible anymore.
Due to the password reset and new login, sometimes two library cards are connected with Libby.
Please go to the Libby main menu (3 lines) – Your libraries – Manage cards.
Now you will probably see two cards: one with 0 loans, another one with active loans (e.g. 1 out of 8).
To go back to your old loans, we suggest to delete the new card (0 loans) by tapping on “Actions” – “Remove card”. Your previous loans should now be visible again in Libby.

If you’re still experiencing problems, please send an email (preferably with a screenshot) to: help@consortium.lu.

Erklärungen in deutscher Sprache

Einige User haben aktuell Probleme beim Login mit der Libby App. Wir haben für Sie ein paar Tipps aufgelistet, die die Probleme lösen sollten.

  1. Haben Sie bereits Ihre a-z.lu Passwort zurückgesetzt?
    Am 30.11.2022 wurde das neue Bibliothekssystem ALMA eingeführt. In diesem Zuge wurden alle a-z.lu Passwörter zurückgesetzt. Falls Sie sich seit dem 30.11.2022 noch nicht wieder eingeloggt haben, klicken Sie bitte den “Passwort aktualisieren” Link im Beschreibungstext und folgen Sie den Anweisungen.

2. Ich haben mein Passwort bereits aktualisiert, aber ich kann meine alten Ausleihen nicht mehr in Libby sehen.
Aufgrund der Password Aktualisierung und dem neuen Login kann es dazu kommen, dass manchmal 2 Bibliothekskarten mit Libby verknüpft sind.
Bitte gehen Sie in diesem Fall zum Libby Hauptmenü (3 Striche) – Ihre Bibliotheken – Ausweise verwalten.
Dort sind nun vermutlich 2 Karten zu sehen, eine ohne Ausleihen (0 von 8) und dann eine ausgegraute mit Ausleihen (zum Beispiel 1 von 8).
Wir empfehlen nun die Karte ohne Ausleihen zu löschen, in dem Sie auf „Aktionen“ klicken und dann „Ausweis entfernen“.
Sie sollten nun Ihre alten Ausleihen wieder in Libby sehen können.

Sollten Sie weiterhin Probleme haben, schicken Sie uns gerne eine Mail (mit Screenshots) an help@consortium.lu.

New content: Max Planck Encyclopedias of Law

Consortium Luxembourg is pleased to announce that we are now offering access to Max Planck Encyclopedias of Law:

Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (MPEPIL)

The definitive reference work on public international law
General Editor: Anne Peters, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law

This major online reference work contains 1,700+ peer-reviewed articles on every aspect of the substance of international law. Written by an incomparable team of over 900 scholars and practitioners led by Professor Anne Peters, this comprehensive resource is essential for anyone researching or teaching international law. It was founded in 2004 by Rüdiger Wolfrum, building on the prior encyclopedia published by Rudolf Bernhardt from 1981 to 2003.

Max Planck Encyclopedia of International Procedural Law (MPEiPro)
The home of international law in practice
General Editor: Hélène Ruiz Fabri, Director of the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law

The Max Planck Encyclopedia of International Procedural Law (MPEiPro) maps and analyzes the systems and processes through which international law is made and adjudicated in practice. Each article is commissioned by General Editor Professor Hélène Ruiz Fabri and a team of experts at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, providing cutting-edge and rigorously peer-reviewed research on areas of international law that are often under-explored. MPEiPro will take a broad view of international procedure, examining it from three different angles: technical points of procedure within specific institutions or across similar organizations; comparative accounts of families of institutions within specific subject areas or with similar functions; and theoretical, interdisciplinary entries.

The scope of the Encyclopedia mirrors the broad understanding of procedure underlying it, encompassing decision-making by international organs in general, including political and administrative bodies. At launch, the Encyclopedia will cover dispute settlement and adjudication. Coverage of non-adjudicatory modes of dispute settlement such as negotiation, mediation, and conciliation, as well as international political and administrative procedures, will be added over time. The Encyclopedia will eventually contain over 1500 entries.

The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law (MPECCoL) is a comprehensive online resource containing analytical comparative articles offering a global overview of constitutional law.

The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law (MPECCoL) provides a high level of analytical coverage of constitutional law topics in a comparative context. MPECCoL articles address a focused range of topics that provide the best coverage of the essence, character, development, and history of constitutional law from a global perspective.
