Our trainings

Introduction: Literature search

We cannot do the research or write for you, but we can show you how you can search for specialised books or articles quickly and effectively. Within a 90-minute session, you will gain an overview of the library catalogue (OPAC) and a selection of literature databases.

Introduction: Citation management with Zotero

This 90-minute session will provide you a basic introduction to the citation management system, Zotero. You will learn how to ...

  • add sources in Zotero,
  • structure your literature list,
  • read and annotate full-text articles,
  • manage citations and notes and use them in Word.

Please install Zotero on your own device before the session.

Workshop: Researching for your final thesis

The first stop for everyone who is about to begin their final thesis, because this workshop focuses on know-how: We develop appropriate research strategies and formulate searches, identify suitable databases, and carry out initial research. And there is still time for questions and exchange with other participants.

Library co(h)mpact:

Brief presentations in an easy atmosphere on various topics and offerings in the library world. You don’t need to register, just come by during the lunch break.
