Dear students,

the student team of the Mathematics Library now offers a digital reading room via zoom every day Mo - Fr from 11:00 - 16:00. We would like to create a common learning atmosphere there to support you during the online semester.

How does it work?

After the zoom-login you will arrive at the "service desk", where a team member will be available for questions. In the "silent reading room" you can work concentrated alone without being lonely. So please turn mirco off and only the camera on. If you want to work in a group, simply ask the team member to move you to a group study room. There you can talk about homework etc. At the service desk you can also ask questions about borrowing textbooks, accessing e-books, etc.

You can reach us via https://tu-berlin.zoom.us/

We hope that you like the idea and that we will see you soon in the reading room.

From May 25^th books from the collections of the Mathematics Library and the other departmental and special libraries at the TU Berlin can be borrowed again. Since the libraries are still closed for visitors, books must be ordered in advance via the Knowledge Portal Primo. They are then made available for borrowing centrally in the University Library (VW-Bibliothek, Fasanenstraße 88).

You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the books you have ordered are available. Please pick up your books within three working days Monday - Friday between 10:00 and 16:00. Please bring your library card, staff card or student card with you when you borrow books. It is obligatory to wear a mouth and nose protection in the library building. Please make sure that you keep a safe distance from other people. Sanitary facilities for users are not available. Disinfection equipment is provided.

You can also return your books at the University Library.

Please find more information about current library services here.

If you have any questions about ordering and booking, please do not hesitate to contact us.

You can now order scans from our books and journals if no electronic version is available at the TU Berlin. The service is free of charge for TU employees and TU students. Please order via the knowledge portal Primo - you have to log in first with your library account.

Please find instructions here.

Please note that we are not allowed to scan entire books. We are happy to answer any questions via email and phone.

Licensed full texts (e-books, e-journals, databases) are accessed via the publishers’ websites, where the IP range of ​​the TU Berlin is activated. From home you need a VPN tunnel into the computer network of the university to be able to access and download the content.

Instructions for the VPN service of the TU Berlin can be found here. For the Institute of Mathematics VPN service, please send an email to staff (at) math.tu-berlin.de. Detailed information will then be sent.

We recommend the Knowledge Portal Primo to search for eBooks and eJournals. Primo is the library catalog of the TU Berlin and also offers the possibility to create literature lists or to export reference information directly. All content we provide can be found there. You can set the search filter „type of publications" to Ebooks to limit your search results.

You can find an overview of the math eBook packages we have licensed here. Individual titles that were published in Open Access are not listed there. Electronic journals and databases such as MathSciNet and zbMATH can also be accessed remotely via VPN.

The Electronic Journals Library is ideal for checking which journals are licensed at the TU Berlin.

Since Friday, March 20th the academic libraries of Berlin are closed to both guests and staff. This means that services can no longer be offered on site, and the printed literature is no longer accessible. Library cards expiring during the closing time will automatically be extended.

You can still contact us! If you have questions regarding literature research and access to ebooks and journals, do not hesitate to send us an email: library (at) math.tu-berlin.de.

You can also contact University Library Mon - Fri from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm: info (at) ub.tu-berlin.de or you can use the chat function: www.ub.tu-berlin.de/chat
