Our aim is to support the members of the institutes in their daily research projects. In order to achieve this, we provide a current and attractive offer of information and services. The expansion of electronic media is of particular importance. A transparent way of working, both internally and externally, is self-evident for us.
The library users are the first priority, an individual consulting of each user is important for us. We maintain an active exchange of information and knowledge among our colleagues and departments.
We strive to constantly optimise the performance capability of the library. Regular further training ensures the necessary competence and promotes the further development of the individual employees.
