The library will be taking part in the "Day of Research" with an information stand and will be providing information about its services, in particular its open access offers and support services.

The University Library presents its range of services for new employees at the University as part of the "Info Market" at the welcome event.

On 27 April 2023, the nationwide Boys' Day will take place at the same time as the Girls' Day.

Paderborn University's diverse programme offers boys and girls in grades 7-13 the opportunity to get a taste of the university atmosphere. With various offers, the aim is to show that there is also a lot to discover and explore beyond the study programmes and apprenticeships traditionally chosen by boys or girls.

The University Library is taking part in this event and will be offering two internships from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. in the "Media and Information Services Specialist, specialising in the library" apprenticeship.

From Tuesday, 28 February to Friday, 3 March 2023, the University Library will host the first "Writing Days" event from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Students and doctoral candidates from all faculties are invited to work intensively on their writing projects in the library over these four days. They will be supported with short workshops and advice on all aspects of writing and searching for literature. Joint exercise breaks with yoga or brain breaks offer a pleasant interruption and the conversation during the coffee break may motivate you with new writing impulses.

Registration is via the library's booking system for training courses.

Information on the programme and important information on the procedure can be found on the pages of the Competence Centre for Writing.

The "Writing Days" are organised by the Competence Centre for Writing and the University Library, together with other institutions of the University, such as the Writing Meeting for International Students, ProLernen, the Centre for Spelling Competence, the Graduate Centre of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and University Sports.

This year, the University Library is once again taking part in the digital information days for students with two Zoom presentations on the topic of "First aid for the term paper - searching for literature in the library".
