Library in the Bundesstrasse building closed
Due to the reorganization of the joint library infrastructure of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and the University of Hamburg (UHH), as well as the upcoming renovation and conversion of the institute building, the library at Bundestrasse 53 will remain closed.
The university library collection will be integrated into the new MIN Forum building and will be accessible there from the 2026 summer semester as part of the new library of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Natural Sciences.
The institute's collection will be stored during the construction phase and will be made available again in a new design once the work has been completed.
Digital services and access to catalogs and electronic resources will remain available.
Contact: publications@mpimet.mpg.de
The library team supports scientists and students of the participating institutes, guests and the interested public by providing printed and electronic content with a focus on meteorology, climatology, oceanography, marine ecosystems, geophysics, biogeochemistry, fisheries science, earth system and environmental research.

Information on Scientific Publishing at our Institute
![[Translate to English:] Wortwolke](/fileadmin/_processed_/7/4/csm_wordcloud_neu_3_efb7b0c4db.jpg)
The institute has provided an uncomplicated internal workflow for all scientific authors. This can be viewed on our intranet.
In addition, the library provides support and advice on any questions that may arise, in particular on open access and its funding, research data, copyright, but also on any other problems that may come up during the publication process.
All publications from the institute are entered into the repository of the Max Planck Society (MPG.PuRe) and presented on the institute's website.
The Institute has created information on CC licenses + software licenses. Briefly and precisely, these are presented in a flyer with a focus on our subject area.

The Max Planck Society has been promoting Open Access (OA) since 2003 and is a co-initiator of the "Berlin Declaration on Public Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities". OA publications are centrally funded for MPS authors by various open access agreements. Further OA activities are locally supported via our document repository (MPG.PuRe)
