The library of the Max Planck Institutes Stuttgart is a scientific library primarily for the members of the Max Planck Campus Stuttgart. External visitors are kindly requested to register.
Please note that the library stock is only available for the employees of the two Max Planck Institutes!
As a common library of the Max Planck Institutes for Solid State Research and Intelligent Systems we are responsible for the information and literature supply of our staff members and guests.
Our aim is to support the members of the institutes in their daily research projects. In order to achieve this, we provide a current and attractive offer of information and services. The expansion of electronic media is of particular importance. A transparent way of working, both internally and externally, is self-evident for us.
The library users are the first priority, an individual consulting of each user is important for us. We maintain an active exchange of information and knowledge among our colleagues and departments.
We strive to constantly optimise the performance capability of the library. Regular further training ensures the necessary competence and promotes the further development of the individual employees.
Here you will find:
If you are a new institute member and you would like to learn more about the use of the library we offer you an introduction every Wednesday:
The meeting point is the information desk in the library on the second level (2 M1).
Due to the new transformative agreement with American Chemical Society (ACS), starting in 2019, open access publication fees for articles with a CC-BY licence in ACS journals will be centrally covered if the "Corresponding author" is a scientist of the Max Planck Society.
Furthermore the contract contains MPG-wide online access to the "All Publications" Package and the "Chemical & Engineering News" (C&EN).

The Union Catalogue of Serials (ZDB) is a catalog for printed and electronic journals, newspapers, serials and other periodical works.
The central subject libraries serve as a national literature and information supplier for the highly specialized demands of science and research. They offer you comprehensive search possibilities, as it is their purpose to collect the publications of their subject as completely as possible and make them available through interlibrary loan. This includes publications within Germany and abroad as well as so-called grey literature (e.g. preprints).
In the Max Planck Society two central retrieval services provide an overview of the worldwide flood of publications and keep the scientists informed.
The information retrieval service of the CPT section is located within the library.
Here you will find a selection of databases:
You will find a comparison of reference management software by the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry in English here.
You will find a comparison of reference management software by the Technische Universität München here.
Shibboleth is a distributed access control system which opens a remote access to fee-based content on the web licensed by the MPG also outside of the IP-range of the MPG (e.g. during travel or at home).
You only need:
Because the basic Shibboleth technology is not available on all platforms, we are using a gateway to the existing IP controlled web (EZProxy). Using thes proxy allows access to all content on the web which is licensed by MPG (Grundversorgung by MPDL) as well as local licenses, even if you are currently not situated in the institute.
