Universitätsbibliothek.Newsletter

We are excited to offer a brand-new interdisciplinary service for knowledge acquisition and further education: LinkedIn Learning. The courses focus primarily on business, creativity and technology. LinkedIn Learning gives users the opportunity to complete entire courses or to watch individual videos. Participants can receive certificates for each course they complete.
Access and use are easy: Users can register directly on the LinkedIn Learning homepage. University members need to register using their university e-mail address. Users will then be redirected to the university login through the Shibboleth service. Alternatively, you can also find the individual videos directly in Bibsearch. The hit display takes you directly to LinkedIn Learning and, after successful Shibboleth login, you can play the video without having to search again.
Further information can be found in Bauhaus.Journal Online.

Following an increase in bird collisions in the past, bird protection markings have now been applied to selected glass surfaces at the University Library. The aim of these markings is to continue to guarantee the natural lighting of the building and to reconcile this with the protection of native birdlife.

For around 450 tenth graders in the upper secondary school, the educational project »Wissen erobern. Schüler*innen entdecken die Weimarer Bibliotheken« (Conquering knowledge. Pupils discover the Weimar libraries) everything revolved around the topic of »Strengthening democracy«. At the kick-off event, Dr. Simon Frisch, Vice President for Teaching and Learning, and Dr. Ulrike Kuch, Vice President for Social Transformation at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, provided information about the requirements of university studies. The students then learned how to conduct research based on the fictitious topic »Strengthening democracy«. After being introduced to the wide range of services offered by Weimar's libraries, the students tried out research techniques at various stations in the university library and the city library, which they can incorporated into their own first academic paper.
»Wissen erobern« has been a fixture of the cooperative collaboration between secondary schools, Weimar libraries and the Central Thuringia Education Authority for 18 years.
