Subject Librarians
Our subject librarians support you in your studies, teaching and research.
We choose books and other items for our collections and index them for easy retrieval in our catalog swisscovery.
We offer courses and consultation hours and organize events on:
- literature searching and search strategies in databases and library catalogs
- citation management (e.g. Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, Citavi)
- academic writing (writing advice, use of collaborative tools, bibliometrics, Plagscan)
Please click on your subject of interest to get further information.
