The library of the Ludwigshafen University of Economics and Society (HWG) is responsible for the analogue and digital supply of literature and information for university members in studies, teaching and research. In addition, it is open to all interested citizens. The university library is largely designed as an open access library. The stocks are systematically compiled according to RVK .

History and organizational structure

The Ludwigshafen University Library is divided into three locations: the central library , the specialist library for social and health care (branch library IV) and the library in the East Asia Institute .

Central Library

Address: Ernst-Boehe-Straße 4, 67059 Ludwigshafen.

Founded in 1965, today's central library moved to the current premises in March / April 1999. It had previously consisted of several office rooms in a row. In the 1999/2000 academic year, it was decided to purchase an EM media security system for today's central library . The magazine, which is not accessible to the public, was also set up in 1999, and was equipped with a compact shelf system in 2013 .

In DBS -Berichtsjahr 1982/83 today took Central Library as a department library Ludwigshafen / Worms of the University of Applied Sciences Rhineland-Palatinate for the first time at the German library statistics part. A PC library management system was introduced in 1988. However, the PC library management system “did not have the necessary requirements, such as the MAB interface […]. In addition, the system lacks a lending module. " The "technical and organizational preparations for the conversion of the cataloging work on EDP basis" lasted until the 1990s. After the regained independence of the Ludwigshafen am Rhein University of Applied Sciences - University of Economics , an installation of the library local system BIS-LOK began in 1996 in today's central library, and in the 1997/98 academic year it was possible to switch to EDP lending. In the 1998/99 academic year, the online catalog of the central library was activated for the first time at the same time as an extensive library website, although it was not yet publicly accessible on the Internet.

Specialized library for social and health services (branch library, department IV)

Address: Maxstraße 29, 67059 Ludwigshafen.

The library was founded in 1971 as the library of the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen . "The beginnings of today's specialist library for social and health services go back to the time when the Evangelical School for Church and Social Service was founded in 1948 and the seminar for social professions and church services in 1950". The base of the library included 3,142 media, which were transferred from the library of the seminar for social professions of the regional association of the Inner Mission Speyer to Ludwigshafen when the library was founded. The current library space was created through renovations and extensions in 1990 and 2013. In 1999, electronic loan booking was switched to (initially under BIS-LOK, from 2004 under BIS-C) and the first website was published.

In 2008, the former library of the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen merged organizationally with today's central library. Since then it has operated under its current name.

Library in the East Asia Institute

Address: Rheinpromenade 12, 67059 Ludwigshafen.

The library of the East Asia Institute was already an integral part of the course when the then model course Marketing East Asia was founded in 1988. Since the move to the newly built East Asia Institute on Rheinufer Süd in 1997, the holdings that were previously housed in two locations have been brought together in one place. The focus of the collection is on books and magazines on the East Asian economic area. Since the students of the East Asia Institute have to complete a compulsory year in China , Japan or Korea , the institute's library houses a large number of textbooks on the languages Chinese , Japanese and Korean .

Through donations and endowments, the library also owns a number of antiquarian books that date back to the early 19th century. These include the reports by the travel writer Ernst von Hesse-Wartegg .

The library also manages the Ostasiatica collection of the Neustadt merchant Emil Helfferich , which contains valuable books and artefacts. This also includes an original edition of Joan Nieuhof's description of China from 1665.

After the merger in 2008

After the organizational merger of the central library and library in the East Asia Institute on the one hand, and the Social and Health Services Library (branch library, Department IV) on the other hand in 2008, the catalog data were merged in 2009. Loans, renewals, pre-orders, reminders and online catalogs are currently running on the Alephino integrated library system from the Ex Libris Group . Since the 2013/2014 winter semester, the three separate library websites have been replaced by a new joint website. In 2015, RFID media security / media booking was introduced at all three library locations.

Inventory and equipment

Location Ernst-Boehe-Strasse, interior view

In accordance with the traditionally grown structures and study focuses at the three locations, the three locations focus on different subject areas:

  • Central library : business administration and related disciplines
  • Specialized library for social and health care : Social work, nursing science and nursing education as well as relevant aspects from neighboring disciplines
  • Library in the East Asia Institute : Economics of the Countries of East and Southeast Asia

Media acquisition and development take place decentrally at the locations. Media acquisition is coordinated, however, by the joint integrated library system Alephino, via which customers can participate in building up the inventory of print books through a user-controlled acquisition process: For media that have not yet been acquired but are worth acquiring within a desideratum pool, users can give the last impulse to buy.
