Still looking for the right reading material for relaxing hours during the approaching winter break? No problem!

As every year at this time, the GW/GSW Library on the Essen campus has a special campaign shelf with a selection of great titles for the holidays. Here you will find everything a reader's heart desires: novels, poetry collections and short stories, literary rediscoveries of forgotten authors, biographies of important writers, particularly beautiful children's and young adult books, important titles from the Frankfurt Book Fair in German translations, texts on current social debates, and much more.

Here's how it works:
Browse the campaign shelf, select the titles you want, reserve them and borrow them from 16.12.2025.

Artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities, but also raises new questions. Can I simply reuse AI-generated content? What materials am I allowed to upload without infringing copyright? When is labelling required? And what constitutes good scientific practice when dealing with AI, for example according to the DFG guidelines?

Find the answers in our German-language workshop.
