Citavi campus license expires on 31 January 2025

Since the beginning of 2010, the library has provided you with a Citavi campus license. Countless theses and knowledge projects have been successfully supported by this program. Nevertheless, this license will not be extended due to the current provider conditions, and will expire on 31 January 2025. With this decision, we are joining numerous other libraries that have also spoken out against further licensing. If you are writing a scientific paper that is due after the license expires, it is important to back up all your references and documents beforehand or to migrate your Citavi project to an alternative program or a private Citavi license. For future use, we recommend the open source literature management program Zotero, which is available for all operating systems free of charge. In the upcoming winter semester, we will be offering training and advice specifically on switching from Citavi to Zotero and on working with Zotero itself. In the coming weeks, we will keep you up to date and provide you with further information on our trainings and advisory services. More English-language information will be provided promptly.
