Do you prefer owning books to borrowing them? On June 8th and 9th there will be a book sale in the university library. Between 10am and 3pm we sell withdrawn books at low prices in the entrance area. Books from all subject areas are on offer, but especially from engineering, natural science and the humanities.

The university library has now licensed six modules in the information and management portal:
·         Waste law
·         Building codes in pictures (for all federal states)
·         Energy efficient and sustainable building according to GEG

Distressed by the events in Ukraine we monitor the situations of libraries in the country, who are forced to adapt their work to the war.
A public digital exchange on the situation of Ukrainian libraries and librarians made obvious how committed our fellow librarians are to maintaining library services while staying involving in society. A wide variety of services are kept going and adapted in order to facilitate freedom of opinion and social participation. Additionally, measures are being taken to protect and preserve library collections, and thus Ukrainian cultural heritage. In close cooperation with the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin and the Coordination Office for the Preservation of Written Cultural Heritage (KEK), the German National Library is playing a central part in supporting Ukrainian libraries.
The event »Zur ak­tu­el­len Si­tua­ti­on ukrai­ni­scher Bi­blio­the­ken und Bi­blio­the­kar*in­nen: Kol­la­bo­ra­ti­on, Ko­ope­ra­ti­on und Un­ter­stüt­zung« was organized by the German Library Association in cooperation with the Ukrainian Library Association and Goethe Institut. A recording of the English language exchange is available online.
