Workstations

The TIB/UB offers you an attractive studying and work environment. There are 1,677 workstations, thereof 158 with computers available to you in our modern reading rooms.

Students and staff of the LUH can receive access to the Internet over the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at the Hanover university.

Please contact the Regionales Rechenzentrum für Niedersachsen RRZN (i.e. Regional computing centre for Lower Saxony).

Workstations are available to do research in the catalogue of the TIB/UB and other catalogues as well as for access to specialized databases and verified Internet sources.

Internet access: The TIB/UB provides free access to the Internet for exclusively scientific purposes. Access is limited to 1 hour per day. You must have a valid library card to gain access.

Universal workstations offer MS-Office-2010-Pack and internet acess. Most of them are equipped with scanners and OCR software.
You can save your research results to a USB flash drive, print them out or send them per email.
The employees of our information teams offer assistance and help on our workstations.

The workstation is available for all blind and partially sighted members of Hannover universities and colleges. Currently, blind and partially sighted users of other Hannover libraries can also use the workstation, to the extent that this fits in with the workstation's primary interest group.
