About us

The Clausthal University Library is a central facility of Clausthal University of Technology and at the same time a publicly accessible library for all citizens, authorities, companies and schools in the region.

The acquisition of literature is oriented towards the needs of the TU. The collection focuses on mathematics and computer science, the natural sciences (except biology) and technology, in particular metallurgy and materials science, mechanical and process engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mining and raw materials, industrial engineering and environmental protection technology. Fundamental works are also available from other subject areas.

In recent years, the University Library has developed from a traditional library into a modern information, knowledge and learning center. However, the traditional tasks have not been forgotten. The University Library maintains an important cultural asset of Upper Harz history in its rooms, the Calvörsche Library, and it can draw on treasures of technical and scientific literature from the 18th century onwards in its old collection for interested users.
