On 21 December 2009, Klaus Siewert presented the book "Charlemagne and the Man on the Hundred Mark Note", published in conjunction with Herman-Josef Schmalor, in the foyer of the University Library.

The book presents manuscripts and prints from the Archbishop's Academic Library, which were presented in an exhibition organised by Klaus Siewert and his students at Paderborn University Library in October 2007. The selected manuscripts and prints show early forms of our modern German over a period of a millennium.

For over a year now, Paderborn University Library has been offering all students and staff at Paderborn University the free use of Citavi, a system for literature management and knowledge organisation, as part of a campus licence.

Citavi provides didactically competent support for literature research as well as the effective indexing and integration of research results in academic work. In addition, Citavi enables effective task planning, from the recording of upcoming tasks with details of deadlines, importance and work status to the creation of task lists.
