Library for the Research Institutes within the ETH Domain: Eawag, Empa, PSI & WSL

Open Access Week runs from 20–26 October 2025! Our experts will visit your institute to answer your questions, and on 22 October, lawyer David Rosenthal will deliver a keynote on copyright and AI training. Don’t miss this chance to join onsite or online!

Collaboration meets creativity! The ETH Domain Data Management Campus held its first MOOCathon, in which participants co-created modules on research data management. Curious about what they produced? Check out our Zenodo community.

We’ve upgraded the Lib4RI Search Tool so that Open Access (OA) information is even easier and clearer to find. We have also changed the design to be more streamlined and added new features to ensure the search tool is your one-stop shop for all library-related content.

Want to know how to publish your data, or figure out how to find the right metadata standard for you? The Data Management Campus is proud to announce the launch of its first set of eLearning modules to help you with your research data management!

Autumn is coming and so is our biannual training series «Searching & Managing Scientific Information». All modules can be booked individually and are open to all members of the four research institutes. Introduced earlier this year, the modules «Make Your Life Easier With Git» and «AI in Research & Scientific Writing» will be offered again this autumn.

Lib4RI has completed the digitalisation of more than 700 historical snow and avalanche reports from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) in Davos. Published between 1938 to 2005, these reports document decades of avalanche observations and snow science conducted by Swiss researchers. We are excited that these reports are now publicly available on our institutional repository DORA for all to explore.
