Acquisition Profile
The library for educational science and communication science (BEK) acquires introductions, textbooks, basic literature, primary literature, secondary literature, handbooks, reference works, journals and databases on the social sciences (educational science and communication science) in German and English. The holdings of the institute library serve the social sciences (educational science and communication science) as an interdisciplinary basis and supplier of special research literature. The subject areas result from the teaching and research priorities of the Institute for Educational Science and the Institute for Communication Science in Faculty 6, as well as from current developments in the general and comparative social sciences. The ULB also supports Open Access in the area of subject-specific acquisitions: It helps finance relevant publications and lists them in its reference tools. The data for funded titles and, for example, e-books from the DOAB and OAPEN portals are imported into our disco literature search engine. You can find more information about researching Open Access publications on these pages for educational science and media studies.
