In the face of an ever-increasing flood of information, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain an overview. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for successful study and professional life to know the relevant information resources and to use them sensibly. We make many important information resources available to you free of charge within the eLibrary. Here you will find specialised databases for your literature research and references to electronic journals and eBooks for direct link to corresponding full texts. In addition, the eSeminar apparatuses offer uncomplicated access to the media provided by your lecturers.

So, would you like to be ahead of the game with your seminar papers and theses? On 6 and 7 November 2007, we will be setting up an information stand in front of lecture theatre C1 to show you which sources of information you can find in our eLibrary and how you can get there quickly and easily. Two places with short introductions set to music invite you to inform yourself. Subject-specific summaries provide a compact introduction to the wide range of resources available in the eLibrary. If you have any questions, expert staff on site will be happy to help.

Curious? Then simply drop by! We look forward to seeing you!

Many graduates of a history degree programme do not work as historians after their exams, but use the skills they have acquired during their studies in a variety of ways. The degree programme is therefore a key to entering various professional fields, including media and libraries.

As part of the basic seminar "Introduction to Media and Libraries", Ms Julia Weidner presents the job profile of an academic librarian and talks about possible additional qualifications after studying history.

For the fourth time, the University Library is presenting its extensive range of electronic resources in the foyer of the university under this motto.
