Replacement of Photocopiers and Printers

Scanning instead of Copying

The university library will extend its rage of high-quality scanners in its reading rooms. In the course of the upcoming weeks, new devices will be installed wherever needs are not met yet. In return, all photocopying machines and printers will be removed.

Compared to photocopiers, scanners have many advantages. The most important are:

Scanning is free-of-charge at the university library.
No paper, printing cartridges and other materials will be consumed.
Scanned documents could be saved on USB flash drives and digitally processed and edited.
Costly misprints and poor copies will belong to the past.
The risk of damage to books and journal volumes will be reduced.
Scanners work economically more efficient and more environmental friendly.

Quality Management at the TUM University Library

Annual audit successfully completed

Yesterday, the auditors from TÜV Süd - a leading technical service organisation in Germany - took again a close look at our library and checked our working processes in the light of our quality management. We are happy to receive also this year a positive evaluation of your customer orientation and good organisation.

In 2007, the library of Technische Universität München was the first German university library certified according to ISO 9001. Since then we are undergoing annual audits and every third year we are subject to a major re-certification. The current certificate is valid until 2016.
