They then have a maximum of 60 minutes to take a short break. Once this time has expired, the space can be used by other library visitors and the study materials at the workstation will be moved to one side. This also applies if users do not use the break timer at all when leaving the workplace. Please also note that PC workstations cannot generally be reserved.</p></div></div> <div id="c18125" class="o-cobj o-cobj--default o-cobj--type-text"><a id="c24281"></a><header><h3> Where? </h3></header><div class="s-rte"><p>Break timers are kept on the stands opposite the lifts in the reading rooms and at our information counters.
