That is why you will find mostly students in the Natural Sciences Library at Riedberg Campus\u2019 Otto-Stern-Zentrum \u2013 who go there not only to work quietly by themselves but also to study together with their peers in group rooms. Here, too, visitors still like to use \u201cold-school\u201d chalk and blackboard to work on formulas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone visiting Goethe University\u2019s Riedberg Campus for the first time will have no trouble finding the Natural Sciences Library, which is housed in the eye-catching Otto-Stern-Zentrum. Mocked by some, the building was once given the nickname \u201ccheese grater\u201d because of its structure and the golden color of its fa\u00e7ade. In addition to a few lecture halls and a cafeteria, the building also and mostly accommodates the department library on Riedberg Campus. Library visitors are impressed first of all by the size of the light-flooded reading room. The fa\u00e7ade lets in sufficient light \u2013 although, as the library\u2019s management recounts, it took some tough wrangling to convince the architects (Gerber Architects, Dortmund) that a few windows in the eye-catching exterior would not ruin the building\u2019s overall impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mathematics and Computer Science are preparing to move<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading the department library is Roland Wagner, who holds a doctoral degree in forestry and is also in charge of the Medical Library on Niederrad Campus as well as the Open Access Department at the University Library. Wagner\u2019s deputy is Daniela Jatz, a qualified librarian, who has worked on Riedberg Campus since 1989. \u201cAt that time, the department library was still named after the Frankfurt suburb of Niederursel and sat on a bare slope, as it were,\u201d she says. More and more disciplines joined the Chemistry Library until, in 2011, they moved into the new Otto-Stern-Zentrum. \u201cAs a result, we are very experienced in absorbing new stock,\u201d Jatz says. Right now, Computer Science and Mathematics are missing \u2013 both libraries are still located on Bockenheim Campus. Even if the new building for these two subjects will take some more time to complete, the faculties are already deciding which stock will move to Riedberg Campus and which will be taken out of use or deposited in the Central Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New challenges<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, Wagner says, people in the natural and life sciences are far less attached to printed media. \u201cImportant research findings are published in online journals. Scientists are pleased that they can access the latest research directly and without taking any detours on their computer in the office or at home. Nobody has to venture to the library for that anymore.\u201d In former times, there were more encounters with researchers, Daniela Jatz recalls somewhat sorrowfully. \u201cNow and again, a professor would come to the library to copy a newspaper article.\u201d Today, communication largely takes place in the virtual domain. But, as Roland Wagner points out, new and different tasks and responsibilities have evolved \u2013 which are sometimes overlooked: \u201cResearchers working from their offices often no longer realize that they are only able to access online content because the library works in the background to license it \u2013 for them, this information simply seems to \u2018just\u2019 be there. But there are complex legal, financial and also technical issues associated with e-journals and e-books.\u201d Daniela Jatz adds: \u201cDigital textbooks are often very expensive for the subjects taught on Riedberg Campus and can frequently only be purchased as a package \u2013 and then only for a certain length of time. For the publishers, this is a lucrative business, but the libraries have to deal with the problem of literature that is often only \u2018rented\u2019. What this means is that after a year, a digital book may no longer be available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bild_UR6.22_Bnat.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bild_UR6.22_Bnat.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bild_UR6.22_Bnat.jpg 650w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bild_UR6.22_Bnat-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bild_UR6.22_Bnat-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Robert Wagner und Daniela Jatz. Photo: Dettmar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, it is hard to think of a profession on which digitization has had more of an impact than on the librarian\u2019s job. \u201cIf at some point all journals are accessible via Open Access, licensing will also become obsolete. Other library services will be in greater demand, for which our staff naturally will have to undergo constant training,\u201d explains Roland Wagner. Another important topic besides Open Access is research data management. \u201cFor the researchers on Riedberg Campus, the systematic handling of research data already plays a major role \u2013 in this respect, the humanities and social sciences still have more catching up to do.\u201d As such, while a team at the University Library is seeking to find answers to the questions of how data can be recorded, stored, retained and used, the department libraries are increasingly assuming the role of mediator. If the acts of making literature available and providing lending services tie up fewer human resources, Roland Wagner says, then libraries will in future be able to offer even better support to researchers when it comes to publishing and research data management. \u201cAs information and scientific publications become more readily available online, finding your way through the flood of digital information and asking which materials have been checked in terms of their scientific quality and which have not will become more important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Physical textbooks remain popular<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Digitization might be well advanced in scientific research. When it comes to students, the preferences differ, both Daniela Jatz und Roland Wagner emphasize. Although students like to use the important and underlying textbooks in natural and life sciences studies in a digital format, many still prefer to have them as physical books. \u201cPrinted books account for about 75 percent of our loans,\u201d Daniela Jatz explains. Although e-books are convenient to use at home, textbooks of this kind can easily be 1,300 pages long, which makes reading on screen quite tiring. The Natural Sciences Library is proud to offer something that is unique in Frankfurt: in cooperation with the faculties, it facilitates \u201csemester loans\u201d. This means that a large number of copies of the most important textbooks are purchased, and students can borrow these for a whole semester. \u201cAs a rule, our students can only borrow textbooks for four weeks. Being able to offer semester loans eliminates the stress of having to return a book before they are finished with it \u2013 a service students appreciate and consider very attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The library as a center for learning and communication<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Many students \u2013 also those pursuing disciplines outside the natural sciences \u2013 like to use the Natural Sciences Library as a place to learn because it allows not only private study. With ten workrooms, it is also possible to study and discuss in groups. The rooms can be booked online, but some can also be used on the spur of the moment without making a reservation. \u201cThis concept was developed together with the student councils, who emphasized the importance of flexible use,\u201d says Daniela Jatz. Although the technical equipment in the rooms also includes optional beamers, the one item that is particularly popular is the whiteboard \u2013 not the interactive types but analogue ones that you write on with traditional felt-tip pens. \u201cIn subjects such as mathematics or chemistry, you have to work with formulas that can sometimes be very long and complex. That is one of the reasons why we still value analogue technology,\u201d says Roland Wagner with a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\"><strong>FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT THE NATURAL SCIENCES LIBRARY<\/strong><br><br><strong>Subjects represented so far<br><\/strong>\u2022 Geosciences and Geography (Faculty 11)<br>\u2022 Physics (Faculty 13)<br>\u2022 Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmacy (Faculty 14)<br>\u2022 Biological Sciences (Faculty 15)<br><br><strong>Workplaces<br><\/strong>\u2022 300 reading places and workstations<br>\u2022 10 group study rooms (some bookable)<br>\u2022 1 workroom for visibly impaired persons<br><br><strong>Stock<\/strong><br>\u2022 Around 150,000 books and journals (capacity designed for 300,000 volumes)<br><br><strong>Staff<\/strong><br>\u2022 7 library staff (mostly part-time)<br>\u2022 Supported by student assistants<br><br><strong>Opening hours<br>Natural Sciences Library Reading Room<br><\/strong>Monday to Friday, 8.00 \u2013 20.00<br>Saturday 10.00 \u2013 16.00<br><strong>Group study rooms<br><\/strong>Monday to Friday 8.00 \u2013 22.30<br>Saturday, Sunday 10.00 \u2013 19.00<br>Library website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de\/bnat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de\/bnat<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to scientific information, digital does it \u2013 although the printed word remains popular, too.
