The GWZO's library

A future-oriented Leibniz specialist library is being established here, which continually expands its collection and is already the largest specialist library on Eastern and Central Europe in eastern Germany.

The GWZO is responding to the opportunities and challenges of digitisation, open science and research data management. This particularly concerns the materiality and mediality of the knowledge generated, disseminated and stored. The GWZO is working on standardizing and networking data, as well as virtual indexing of arcane sources, to utilize digital possibilities critically and productively.

Research data management at the GWZO

Research data are a cornerstone of scientific knowledge. Making them accessible for further research in a sustainable and secure manner is the goal of the GWZO and is of enormous importance in the digital age.

The GWZO is involved in the Saxon project«SaxFDM - Establishment of Cooperative Support for Research Data Management in the Free State of Saxony.» The project aims to expand Saxony-wide support services, including consulting, training, and technical services, for research data management.
