When Carl von Ossietzky University was founded in 1973, the BIS (Library and Information System) took over the collections of the former University of Education.
Today, the University Library holds around 1.4 million volumes in its open-access collection. The collection focuses on the academic disciplines represented at the university.
These guided tours of the University Library’s public reading area highlight its central importance for research and teaching, and explain and demonstrate the wide range of services available, such as research, borrowing, computer workstations, and printing and photocopying facilities.

In our short videos we explain all the main functions and possibilities of Stud.IP.
In lectures and seminars, the lecturer usually uploads the teaching material for students and guest students to the Stud.IP learning platform. In this way, students and guest students can download the material, save it on their PC at home, print it out and thus prepare or follow up on courses accordingly.
If you have applied for admission to the course you have requested and received a letter of acceptance, you are listed in the Stud.IP university system as a participant in the course and automatically receive all important information from the lecturers (e.g. time and room rescheduling).
In our short videos we explain all the essential functions and possibilities of Stud.IP. The following topics are covered, among others:
- Where do I get the access data?
- How do I log in?
- How do I find my courses?
- How do I download the learning material?
- Where can I find the BigBlueButton video conferencing system and how does it work?
- Where can I find the recorded lectures or teaching videos of my course and how can I watch them?
- Where can I view and download the literature or presentation slides provided for my courses?
- How do the communication applications work, e.g. Blubber or Forum?
