About us
Welcome to the ETH Library. You can expect from us:
Whether you require printed or digital formats or physical objects, we provide you with whatever you need for your research, teaching or degree. At the ETH Zurich, we offer specialist literature, collections, data and specimens in a clearly structured manner and free of charge. We also have quiet reading, study and work spaces.
We run the Research Collection as a repository for your publications and their dissemination, management and documentation, and advise you on data management planning, open access and long-term archiving. We provide financial support for publishing in open access journals by covering the expenses and offering expert advice.
We digitise collections in cooperative projects and provide you with our expertise on digitisation and information organisation. As an active partner in integrated knowledge production, we develop infrastructures and tools that cover the entire scientific value creation chain in cooperation with internal and external partners and by participating in expert committees and associations.
Our exhibitions, online platforms, guided tours and participatory formats take the know-how of ETH Zurich to the public. Our courses, workshops and webinars teach you skills in conducting searches, reference management, open access and data management. We also offer individual advice on all these topics.
