Library on Site

The AIP library is not only the home of the extensive collection of monographs, journals and series. If you are looking for a quiet place to concentrate on your work, you have come to the right place. We offer numerous work places, some of which are equipped with Windows or Linux terminals. Of course, you can also bring your own device and connect it to the available monitors and the AIP network via the existing LAN sockets. If your device does not have a LAN adapter, you can easily use the existing W-LAN. You can also use the multifunctional device in the library for your print jobs (follow-me print).

In the entrance area of the library you have the possibility to meet with colleagues on our comfortable armchairs or to study the current daily press.

We are looking forward to your visit!


Please Note: In the library you will also find the relaxation room, should you ever feel unwell and want to rest.
