Opening hours with personal consultation on site:

Monday - Thursday: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

As we are a small team we cannot always guarantee opening hours for external users. Therefore we recommend to inquire by phone or mail before arrival. If you would like to make an appointment outside our regular opening hours, please contact us by e-mail library@aip.de

Book a librarian

If you have a very specific information need, you are welcome to book us for a personal or online consultation! We would also be happy to advise and train you on specific topics or tools as part of departmental or team meetings. Be it in the area of publishing, information retrieval or the use of certain tools - such as literature management systems.

We look forward to your inquiry: library@aip.de

Events

As the library of the AIP, we see ourselves not only as the place at the AIP where books have their home. In regular events we introduce the use of the library and offer thematic lectures.

Are you new to the AIP? Then we invite you to our monthly introduction to the library's services. The announcement will be made in advance by e-mail to all AIP staff. Prior registration is not necessary. Depending on your needs, we hold this regular event in German or English. You don't have time on that day? No problem! We are also happy to offer you an individual ad hoc introduction during regular opening hours.
