In April the University Library offers PhD candidates at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences a series of courses addressing publishing issues, advanced literature searching techniques and information management. The faculty highly recommends participation! The main part of the program is held on April 8th and will include a free lunch for the participants, so please note that your registration is binding.

We will give lectures and workshops in (schedule here)
