The Library is grouped into four groups, in which discipline-specific experts provide library services for their respective disciplines. The activities of a discipline group are presented using the example of the MLTL discipline group, which provides services to the Faculties of Science, Technology and Medicine.
The world around us is constantly changing and we cannot always control the causes, extent or timing of these changes. Anticipating the future in the face of unknown changes requires both individuals and organisations to be flexible, open-minded and willing to experiment with alternative ways of working. These are the qualities that the Library and its staff have needed and demonstrated over the past year as well.
