The goal of this position is to make the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin as accessible as possible for individuals with diverse needs and backgrounds. This includes the library's buildings, (electronic) offerings and services. Rather than focusing on predefined target groups, the emphasis is on individual needs and desires. Fulfilling these requirements enables individuals to independently work and conduct research on-site or with electronic resources, as well as move freely and unhindered in the library buildings and have a pleasant research environment. Improvements and innovations introduced in this context benefit everyone, thus enhancing the library's overall quality and usability for all.

Specific areas of focus include, among others:

  • Accessibility of buildings
  • Accessible web offerings
  • Inclusive events or events on inclusive topics
  • Special service offerings for individuals with disabilities
  • Raising awareness among staff (and users) about inclusion
  • Consultation services for users
  • Collaboration and cooperation with associations and other organizations
