The University Library Erfurt is the scientific library of the University of Erfurt in the Free State of Thuringia . From 1999 to 2018 it was combined with the Gotha Research Library as the Erfurt / Gotha University and Research Library . It has been an independent central institution of the university since March 2018, but is still in close cooperation with the research library. It is mainly used for research, teaching and studying at the University of Erfurt as well as for scientific work and further education. The Erfurt University Library is located on the university campus.
history
The establishment of the Erfurt University Library began in the course of the re-establishment of the University of Erfurt at the end of 1993, and lending operations began on the university campus in 1998. As early as 1997, a cooperation with the Erfurt University of Education was initiated for the library , whose library was integrated into the university library in 2000. Also in 2000 it was possible to move into a new building with a capacity of 1.15 million volumes (Architects: Koch + Partner, Munich) on the university campus in the north of Erfurt. In 2002, the holdings of the Philosophical-Theological Studies in Erfurt (now the Faculty of Theology ) and the holdings of the Bibliotheca Amploniana were integrated into the university library .
With the new version of the Thuringian University Act , the Gotha Research Library and Erfurt University Library were merged to form the Erfurt / Gotha University and Research Library. As a result of an evaluation by the Science Council in 2014/15, both libraries became independent academic institutions again in 2018, but both remained part of the University of Erfurt. The organization of the research library and the cooperation with the university library are regulated by statutes.
Duration
Today's media offer is largely due to the support provided by investment funds according to the University Construction Act (1997-2008) and the integration of the libraries of several former institutions, the Church University Naumburg as a permanent loan of the Evangelical Church Province of Saxony since 1995, the College of Education Erfurt / Mühlhausen since 1997, of the Philosophical-Theological Studies in Erfurt since 2002, back. It also contains the preserved holdings of the library of the old Erfurt University (1392-1816), including the Bibliotheca Amploniana as the largest still fully preserved manuscript collection of a late medieval scholar worldwide.
The library offers its media mainly in open access and is an active member of the Regensburg network classification .
