News from the library
Humanities and Social Sciences Library "A project that not only connects spaces, but also people"
With these words, UDE Chancellor Andreas Meinen expressed his his appreciation for the successful renovation work in the GW/GSW branch library.
During his visit at the beginning of March, he took the opportunity to take a short tour of the branch library and talk to those involved in the project. Together with external architects and internal UDE experts, the University Library developed the concept for the new foyer, which was completed at the end of 2023.
News Potentially arsenic-contaminated books
Many libraries are currently confronted with a serious issue: Arsenic compounds have sometimes been used in the production of 19th century books and journals.
The UDE assumes that holdings in its university library may also be affected. It is taking the issue very seriously and has already reacted: All of the approximately 18,000 books and journal volumes from the relevant period will be blocked for lending for the time being.
