In March 2026, the University Library is getting a well-deserved makeover. With a fresh coat of paint, deep cleaning, minor renovations, and technical upgrades, we are preparing the perfect environment for your spring research.
Each week will bring a new "Construction Menu" of updates. We kindly ask for your patience, as there may be occasional noise, restricted access to certain areas, and slight fluctuations in temperature.
True to the motto ‘what is created here should be seen’, the University Library now offers you space to put your visions in the spotlight. A curated exhibition area is looking for people who want to make their research, projects or perspectives visible. Student initiatives are also welcome, as are contributions on current topics, interesting hobbies and talents. The aim is to provide insights, facilitate encounters and empower people with the topics close to their hearts. Whether creative, personal or scientific - the exhibition thrives on diversity. If you are interested, please contact Carina Kröber (carina.kroeber@ovgu.de) for further information.

Increasing concentration, doing something for your health and generating electricity at the same time – t…
