Library holdings and acquisitions
The University and State Library holds a historically accumulated print collection of research literature, as well as textbooks and schoolbooks, and a large collection of educational and psychological journals covering the various fields of educational studies. The current collection priorities are aligned with the teaching and research priorities of the individual departments and also relate to the didactics of primary school subjects.
In addition, efforts are being made to continuously expand access to electronic content. On the first floor of the library, there is a children’s and young adult literature section with seating and a reading counter. Here, students are provided with a wide and diverse range of children’s and young adult books, which offer inspiration for reading with school pupils and are designed to enable students, through their training, to critically reflect on the books’ content and engage with it academically.
The library also includes the „Eva Maria Kohl“ Archive of Children’s Literature“. It contains around 100,000 texts written by children and young people over the past 100 years.
Find and Use
Titles relating to the sub-fields of educational science are listed in the Franckeplatz Branch Library (Building 31) and are fully catalogued electronically. With a few exceptions, the collections at the Franckeplatz branch library are available for loan. Some of the literature, particularly in the fields of psychology and subject-specific didactics, can also be found in the Library at the Steintor Campus.
The titles are listed according to an in-house classification system (which is currently being revised).
The call number can be found via the OPAC and Ha:Lit.
Consultancy and training services
At regular intervals, we organise library induction sessions, literature search and reference management workshops, as well as advisory services on publication strategies and research data management.
