Online Library

Digital Information and Literature Service

Our online library provides access to a wide range of digital information and literature resources. Our aim is to support the academic work of our researchers efficiently and in line with their needs.

These resources allow researchers at our institute to conveniently access e-books, e-journals and databases from anywhere. The library's services include literature acquisition, providing information on Open Access, and managing scientists' publications in the Max Planck Society's publication repository (MPG.PuRe). All of the library's online resources are, of course, accessible at any time.

We manage our collection of analogue books in collaboration with the Department of Biology library at Philipps University Marburg. The library is located on the Department of Biology's premises.

Our digital information service (Infoscreens) serves as an internal communication medium for sharing scientific news, information about lectures and events, details of workshops and prizes, and other announcements related to research. This service is provided on a total of four monitors in the institute.

Further information and direct access to electronic media can be found on our internal MAX page (for institute members only).
