About the Bibliography

The publications of the members and affiliates of the TU Ilmenau are listed in the University Bibliography. An exception is the record of graduation theses. The publications must have been produced in connection with an activity at the university.

Here, "publication" means:
The document is accessible to the general public in printed or electronic form.
In the case of a printed form, this is usually the case if the publication is or was available in bookstores. The electronic form requires stable and long-term availability on the Internet (e.g. on the archive servers of libraries or publishers).

The information on the publications is automatically transferred to the University Bibliography or to the editorial team via databases or through your registrations or list submission. All entries are checked editorially by the University Library, corrected if necessary and finally released.

To ensure that the cataloging is uniform and bibliographically accurate, the departments provide the University Library with complete copies of articles from journals that not available in the library's holdings for cataloging. For all other publications that are also not in the library's holdings, we ask that they be made available for inspection or that a voucher copy be provided for the library's holdings.

The development of the University Bibliography is supported by the state of Thuringia as part of the Thuringian digital strategy. And it is being done in cooperation with the Library Service Center Thuringia as well as the Verbundzentrale des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes.

FAQ

The University Bibliography records independent and dependent publications that have appeared in print or in digital form. These can be, for example, monographs, articles in periodicals and contributions in collective works, but also audio documents and multimedia digital publications.

All members and affiliates of the TU Ilmenau can register their publications to the University Bibliography. This requires a login with the UniRZ login. Former members should contact the editorial team of the University Bibliography.

On the page „Registering a publication“ you get to the input mask for publications by entering an identifier (e.g. DOI) or by entering author and title of the publication.

Submitted publications are reviewed by an editorial team at the Ilmenau University Library. This may cause time delays. Entries may be corrected and reprocessed to ensure consistent data quality with respect to statistical analysis.

These titles are publications that were created in the context of an activity at the TU Ilmenau.
