We are extremely pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Bela Gipp and his research group at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen as of 1 April 2022. The professorship “Scientific Information Analytics” is designed, among other things, as a link between the Institute of Computer Science and the Research and Development Department of SUB Göttingen.
SUB Göttingen has received funding from the state of Lower Saxony totaling 800,000 euros for its project “Landesweite Lizenzierung und Open-Access-Transformation von E-Books” (Statewide Licensing and Open Access Transformation of E-Books). The project is one of seven funded collaborative projects of the initiative "Hochschule.digital Niedersachsen".
SUB Göttingen is one of the founding members of the independent working group Forum 13+, which - complementary to DEAL - deals with the Open Access transformation of journals of small and medium-sized specialist publishers, for which there is a significant publication volume in Germany (more than 13 publishers).
The Faculty of Theology of the University of Göttingen and the SUB Göttingen make the Syriac and Arabic manuscripts of the Ahiqar tradition accessible in a new online edition.The tale of the sage Aḥiqar is one of the stories particularly frequently edited and received in the literatures of the ancient Near East and achieved wide dissemination even beyond the Near East.
Since 10 July 2018, at the University of Göttingen - as well as at around 200 other well-known German scientific institutions - access to current full texts from Elsevier and Cell Press journals has been suspended by the publishers. At the University of Göttingen 440 Elsevier journals and another 12 titles belonging to Cell Press are affected.
University of California San Diego Library and the Göttingen State and University Library extend their cooperation agreement after a successful first term from 2016 to 2019.
Staff exchange enabled the libraries to share expertise about supporting researchers on campus in data curation, to exploit complementary skills for mutual assessments of digital infrastructure, give trainings in digital humanities and experiment on transatlantic digital preservation.
