Behavior in the 24-hour library
Concerns/Category:
There have been complaints about students using and viewing the library as a place to spend time.
The 24-hour library is a place to study and work, where students prepare for exams, write papers and also study in groups, which requires a quiet environment.
The 24-hour library is not a place for private meetings and conversations!
In the interest of everyone, we ask that you keep to this and behave quietly and considerately. Otherwise, we will suspend operations for a while, including over Christmas, when many will start studying for the upcoming exam period.
It is unfair for students to ignore or even verbally dismiss requests from others.
A place like this requires everyone to behave socially. If this is not possible, there will be consequences and everyone will suffer.

Our glasses collection campaign continues
Concerns/Category:
The year is drawing to a close and so is this year's glasses collection campaign.
Together with the ecumenical university chaplaincy, we will be collecting old glasses until 20 December 2024, which will first be cleaned and then distributed to people in need of visual aid worldwide.
Spectacles of all kinds (including sunglasses, damaged spectacles or spectacle frames) and even hearing aids can be donated to our collection boxes for the ‘Spectacles Worldwide’ campaign organised by the Katholisches Blindenwerk.By reusing existing spectacles, resources are conserved. Residual materials that can no longer be used are recycled according to type.
The collection boxes can be found in the foyer of the OTH library in Amberg and in the copy box of the OTH library in Weiden.
Take part, provide a new perspective and protect the environment!
Test access to IBISWorld - industry market research, reports & statistics
Concerns/Category:
You have access to the IBISWorld database until mid-December.
What's inside?
- Around 4,000 industry reports worldwide with detailed market analyses for Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, Mexico, China and important global markets
- Qualitative and quantitative trend analyses on industry-specific key statistics, operating conditions, product and market segments and the competitive environment, including major industry players
Online access:
from any PC within the university network and externally via VPNScopus becomes Scopus AI
Concerns/Category:
From 04.11.24 - 02.12.24 we are offering trial access to Scopus AI.
What is this?
- Extension of Scopus with the integrated Scopus AI module
- Generative AI search by combining metadata and abstracts within Scopus (not on the WWW!)
- Technology of large language models (LLM)
- Question formulation in natural language
What are the benefits of Scopus AI?
- Generation of thematic summaries
- Visual representation of key terms as a concept map
- References to subject experts
- Suggestions for in-depth questions
- Links to original research
Access is via the ‘Scopus AI’ tab directly in the search interface.
The suggested results should not be accepted without checking, as there is currently a risk of so-called hallucinations with every generative AI.
You are welcome to send feedback on the benefits and added value of Scopus to the library.
