The User-eXperience group reports:Recent additions to the 'Library of Things' in the Social Sciences Library

12 November 2025

In August, we already shared the news about the new acquisitions in the Wiwi Library. Today, we are pleased to introduce the latest additions to the Social Sciences Library!

What’s New:

Technical Upgrades: We’ve replaced broken cables and upgraded our equipment—including fast chargers and multiport adapters—so you can charge multiple devices at once and always have the right connectors available. We've also added a brand-new on-ear headset (USB-A/USB-C) with hygiene covers, ideal for focused study, watching educational videos, or attending online lectures.

More comfort: Your feedback from the summer semester survey highlighted how important ergonomic work is to you. That’s why we’ve invested in height-adjustable laptop stands—helping you maintain a healthier posture and quickly turning any table into a standing desk. Perfect for a refreshing change during long study or work sessions.

Feel free to visit the Social Sciences Library, explore the new gadgets, and share your feedback afterwards! More information about borrowing and terms of use here.
