Library for the Research Institutes within the ETH Domain: Eawag, Empa, PSI & WSL

Spring is at our doorsteps and so is our biannual training series «Searching & Managing Scientific Information». All modules can be booked individually and are open to all members of the four research institutes. Make sure to have a look at the new modules "Make your life easier with Git" and "AI in Research & Scientific Writing".

In 2025, Lib4RI contributed five online coffee lectures to the Swiss schedule of the Love Data week. Our focal topic was tools which support you in organizing, analysing and publishing your data in a clean and reproducible manner. Recordings are available now.

We are happy to invite you to join a 1h researchers’ masterclass webinar on our newly subscribed AI research assistant and citation database scite.ai. Its capability to state if articles mention, support, or contrast certain claims sets it apart from the crowd.

We are delighted to share the latest developments in our product portfolio for 2025. Based on comprehensive data analysis and evaluation of research needs, we have adjusted our subscriptions to ensure optimal access to essential resources and publishing opportunities for researchers at the 4RIs. Negotiations with Wiley continue at a national level.

Lib4RI is now on the social media site Bluesky @lib4ri.bsky.social. Come find updates on library news, events, and trainings on Bluesky. We will continue to post updates on LinkedIn and Mastodon, as well as on Bluesky. Come give us a follow!

At the beginning of the new year, we are replacing our standards portal with a new platform.
From 01 January 2025, Nautos will be available for searching, downloading and ordering standards.
