Welcome to the press and public relations page of our University Library!
We are pleased to give you an insight into our exciting projects around us.
Do you have any questions about our services? Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We are always at your disposal and are pleased that you would like to make information about our institution accessible to a wide audience.
Photo and filming permissions
We would be very pleased if you would like to take photos and film recordings for non-commercial purposes in the building of the University Library! To discuss the details, please contact Ms. Strotmann for permission to record.
Recordings of other parts of the campus are supervised by the Ruhr University Communications Department. You can apply for permission here.
Please note that the glowing letters on the front and back of Bochum University Library are a work of art. The artist who created it, Mischa Kuball, has his rights to this work represented by vg Bild-Kunst. Requests for permission to photograph this work of art should therefore be addressed to this organization. We request that information regarding these recordings also be brought to the attention of Ms. Strotmann.
Publications
Bochum University Library not only hosts and supports a large number of different open access RUB publications on its OMP and OJS instances, as well as on the Ruhr University document repository. Our employees also participate in scientific and collegial exchange. The topics are as diverse as the members of our institution.
Are you interested in our publications? You can find them here.
