Educational Cooperations
Introduction
Besides of numerous research cooperations and SOKRATES/ERASMUS-cooperations, the Ditigal Library group is also working on various free cooperations with LIS-institutions of different american universities.
Our goal is not only to exchange knowledge between teachers and students or to enhance mutual visits. The "new media" also enables students of the Berlin School of Library and Information Science of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin to attend classes in the USA. Therefore we use state-of-the-art technologies to communicate and disseminate information.
Cooperation Partners
