"Collect & Connect" in the knowledge store

"Connect & Collect" - the speed dating for science communication is linked to a parallel open networking format with exhibitors and interested parties. Projects from the "storehouse of knowledge" will present their research objects - in short lectures, mini-workshops or interventions. Dialogue and exchange with visitors is expressly encouraged.

with the following program items, among others:

Dr. Tobias Pohlmann: Open Access - Research Results Free and for All
Scientific publishing has developed over the decades into a highly commercial and extremely profitable market dominated by a few large players in the publishing industry. Why is this so? And is this really in the interest of the public and of science itself? This lecture will shed light on why scientific research results should be freely available and how UB Kassel promotes this goal.

Dr. Brigitte Pfeil-Amann: Historical heritage digital
For more than 10 years, the UB/LMB Kassel has been pushing ahead with the digitization of its most valuable old collections. Through its digital online archive ORKA, it makes the digitized material available not only to researchers and teachers, but also to interested private individuals, free of charge and under free licenses. After a simple registration, it is also possible for anyone to independently add further information on individual objects via a so-called 'crowdsourcing' module.

Dr. Timo Kirschberger: Long-term memory for the region 
As the oldest part of the Kassel University Library, the State Library preserves the region's written heritage. The old stock of historical manuscripts and old prints is supplemented by the constantly growing collection of regional literature. As part of the so-called deposit copy right, the library also receives a copy of every publication from Northern Hesse, from novels and daily newspapers to maps and club publications - and increasingly in digital form. The state library makes all these holdings accessible, preserves them for permanent use by the general public, and thus forms the region's long-term memory.
