Introduction to eLearning  | Digital Campus

The introductory event for the digital campus will give you an overview of all the important digital tools you will need for your studies. We will show you how to navigate the Ilias learning system, use the university portal for exam registrations, access emails and find other key online services offered by the university.

Library LIV | Virtual Library Tour

Eine Studentin liest in der Bibliothek.

LIV offers several library introductory tours at the start of the semester.

In these events, which take place virtually on Webex, you will learn the most important things about the library LIV, the current options for borrowing and use, return deadlines, how to search the online catalogue, and you will also get a few visual impressions of the library.

You do not need to register to participate, all you need is a browser and an audio connection. Simply follow the respective "Participation" link at the specified time. You can expect this to be about 30-45 minutes long.

Please mute your microphones during the presentation; of course, you will be given the opportunity to ask questions during the event.

As soon as the dates for the library tours are fixed, they will be published here:
