News

09.02.2026 Our literature search engine Discovery will receive a comprehensive update this coming weekend.

Our Discovery service processes over a million search queries every year. With this update, the underlying Lukida system will be upgraded to the new version Lukida 5.
The update brings a modern new design and several new features to the Rostock University Library and hmt literature search portal. Both the search functionality and the user account have been significantly improved. New dynamic search filters, such as filtering results by library location, enable more precise and faster searching.

In the coming weeks, we will introduce the new features and improvements in Discovery on the University Library's Instagram account

Please note: Minor disruptions to Discovery may occur during the transition. The OPAC is not affected by the update and will remain fully available during the process. 

Library now on Instagram! Look out for information, news and library stuff :-)
