Flying Visit

We offer a special service to the teaching staff of the university under the title "Stippvisite" ("flying visit"). A librarian from the Information Literacy team will come to your event and present research strategies and tools appropriate to the seminar topic. Other library services such as interlibrary loan or the use of reference management programs can also be covered on request. The "Stippvisite" is also an opportunity to address specific questions and interests of your group. We are happy to discuss the details with you in advance.

Depending on your requirements and our capacity, it is possible for our colleagues to attend an event flexibly either in person or via Zoom. Other formats are also possible by individual arrangement.
Booking

Booking a Flying Visit

You can either book a visit via the team email address or by contacting the contact person below. In order to help us with planning, we ask that you register at least four weeks before the desired date. Please provide the following information:

•  Title of the seminar
• Your preferred date - Oct 2025 - Feb 2026 (Okt/Nov with limitations, see below)
• Alternative date
• Desired duration of the visit
• Language of instruction
• Visit in person or via Zoom

We will then get in touch with you to make more detailed arrangements. Please understand that we may not be able to fulfil every request, sometimes the desired dates exceed our capacities. The earlier you write, the more likely it is that we will be able to fulfil your request and accommodate your schedule. We will be happy to accept requests for dates for the winter semester 2025/26 from September 2025.

Limitations for the winter semester

In the winter semester, we cannot offer flying visits to the same extent as in the summer, as we hold parallel events for students in the Leuphana Semester. If you would like an appointment in December or after the Christmas break, we can usually cover these more easily than flying visits in October or November. We do not visit seminars that are part of the Leuphana Semester, so please refer your students to the course programme for the Leuphana Semester.

Flying visits to bachelor colloquia and master forums are given priority in the winter semester.
