Acquisition of information media

The service covers the supply of information media to the university (purchase, exchange, gift and fee-based open access). The service organises the ordering of all print media, the inventory of received copies (journals, monographs, gifts) and is the central point of contact for new acquisition requests from all authorised users. The service is responsible for the development of the entire collection, including deacquisition.

Digital collections

The selection of content is demand-oriented and, depending on the product, is coordinated with the users, the faculties or the university management and carried out on their behalf. The service ensures online access to licensed electronic information media via the platforms of the providers.

Library search

The OPAC allows you to search for information media and offers a range of self-service functions. This includes, for example, account details, pre-orders, reservations, or inter-library loan.
