Briefly...
The library of the Institute of Environmental Planning is actually a reference library for the staff. Nevertheless also all students can consult journals, books, project and diploma theses there or borrow them for a short time.
Longer...
If you need books or journals for longer, you can borrow them from the Technical Information Library (TIB):
- Welfengarten 1 B, 30167 Hannover
- www.tib.eu
- Opening hours: Monday - Friday: 9.00 - 22.00, Saturday: 9.00 - 18.00.
The TIB offers literature and specialist information in printed and electronic form.
Links for research:
Indexes of journal contents (forward to the electronic journals, if applicable):
The possibility of viewing journals electronically is particularly useful:
Where else?
Where else to look if literature is not available in the TIB's holdings?
- Union Catalogue Hanover (search Hanover-wide - borrow locally)
- Search the Union Catalogue (GVK) and Online Contents (OLC)
- Joint union catalogue (search in libraries from Schleswig-Holstein to Thuringia, Lower Saxony to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with online ordering option, processing fee per order 1.00 to 1.50 euros)
- A very good search option for all those wishing to research historical journals in our discipline is offered by http://www.garden-cult.de/.
International research?
- For very difficult cases, there is a meta-search (also international, if desired) via various libraries (associations): https://kvk.bibliothek.kit.edu/?digitalOnly=0&embedFulltitle=0&newTab=0
- A very important aid is the Web of Science However, it can only be used via computers with a Uni Hannover IP or with the help of a VPN client and an account at the RRZN.
- Jstor is especially helpful for older literature.
