As part of a campus license, the university library provides all students, faculty, staff members, and employees of the university with free licenses for the literature management program Citavi.
With Citavi, you can manage your reading material, search in subject databases and library catalogs, organize knowledge, collect quotes, and automatically generate bibliographies in various citation styles, all in a standardized format.
Thanks to the campus license, all users may install Citavi on two computers.
