`We organise information for tomorrow's knowledge
`
`Acting in the capacity of the German National Library of Science and Technology, as well as architecture, chemistry,
`computer science, mathematics and physics, the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and
`University Library provides academia, research and business with literature and information. Its remit is to preserve
`recorded knowledge and to provide the latest information, both now and in the future, irrespective of the time and
`the place. TIB is actively engaged in promoting Open Access and thus supports unrestricted, free access to
`scientific information. In its capacity as a University Library, TIB ensures that all faculties of Leibniz Universität
`Hannover are supplied with information.
`
`TIB is continuously expanding its role as a German information centre for the digitisation of science and technology.
`As a research library, it conducts applied research and development in order to generate new services and optimise
`existing ones. Its key areas of research are in the fields of Data Science & Digital Libraries, non-textual material,
`Open Knowledge, Open Science and Visual Analytics.
`
`TIB provides scientific content and digital services to specialist and research communities at www.tib.eu ,
`supporting the different stages of scientific work. The library’s search and order portal offers users access to its
`outstanding collections of fundamental and highly specialised information on science and technology. These
`collections also include knowledge objects such as 3D models, research data and audiovisual media. TIB’s AV-
`Portal
` can be used to search for specific content from scientific videos from the fields of science and
`technology. By allocating DOI names (Digital Object Identifiers) and ensuring they can be detected and accessed,
`TIB safeguards the quality, long-term availability and referenceability of research data, which plays an important role
`in the research process.
`
`TIB is a public-law foundation of the Federal State of Lower Saxony. The library is a member of the Leibniz
`Association .
`
`TIB’s key activities are laid down in its Strategy 2018-2022 (PDF, German), and can be described as follows:
`
`Preserve knowledge and facilitate access
`TIB makes its outstanding collections of specialist and research information on science and technology
`available to users as openly and simply as possible via user-oriented portals, protecting them for future
`generations.
