GreyNet is proud to welcome TIB as Associate Member in 2017
TIB is the German National Library of Science and Technology, as well as architecture, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics. In its specialist fields it provides national and international researchers and industry practitioners and – as a University Library – students, researchers and teaching staff from all faculties of Leibniz University Hannover as well as interested local citizens with literature and information in both printed and electronic form. The library has outstanding collections of fundamental and highly specialised literature on science and technology. Its remit is to preserve the knowledge recorded and to provide the latest information for research and industry, both now and in the future, irrespective of the time and the place. The aim of TIB is to provide its customers with innovative, efficient and smooth access to data, information and knowledge, and to make large information spaces available to them in a structured, suitable manner. One of its specialist areas is grey literature from its subject areas, which is difficult to procure and cannot be obtained commercially. With its portal www.tib.eu, TIB offers a search and order portal for specialist and research information with a focus on science and technology. Knowledge objects such as audiovisual media, 3D models and research data are also integrated in the portal. More than 170 million data set are currently available. TIB conducts applied research and development to optimise the services it offers. In cooperation with research facilities, emphasis is placed on the topics of visual search, the visualisation of data, future internet and semantic web. By allocating DOI names (digital object identifiers) and ensuring they can be detected and accessed at www.tib.eu, TIB safeguards the quality, long-term availability and referencability of research data. TIB is a member of the Leibniz Association, and became a public-law foundation of the Federal State of Lower Saxony in 2016. http://www.tib.eu
