The FHNW Library connects, guides and helps.
Vision
People and networks
We put our focus on people and are a hub for knowledge exchange between our stakeholders. To this end, we promote the development of our employees' skills, use our library network and work together with the relevant departments at FHNW.
Learning space and meeting place
We design learning and library spaces as open and diverse meeting places. We are present for our library users and actively contribute to a lively campus culture. We form a link connecting the public and the university, both on site and virtually.
Openness and fairness
We strengthen Open Access and the dissemination of knowledge in the spirit of Open Science. We operate a repository and implement Open Science goals. We make FHNW visible as an institution and thus contribute to the success of our researchers.
Partner for teaching and research
We support open scholarly communication by providing access to print and digital sources for study, research, professional and continuing education and promote the critical use of information. We assist with questions about research, data processing and publication.
