You can also use the catalogue computers for free-of-charge access to the online DIN standards and DIN-VDE standards.
Mobile conference monitors

Three mobile conference monitors are available at the HIBS Learning Centre at Berliner Tor 5 (7th floor). Thanks to the additional equipment with camera, loudspeaker and microphone, these devices can be used for hybrid conferences in addition to presentations (provided you have a conference tool on your laptop).
To give presentations or hold conference calls, simply connect your laptop to the conference monitor using ClickShare. Detailed instructions are available on site for each monitor.

A mobile CleverTouch monitor is available in every campus library. There are even two of them in the Campus Library Finkenau at Finkenau 35.
To give a presentation, simply connect your laptop to the large monitor using ClickShare. Detailed instructions are available on site at each CleverTouch monitor. Alternatively, you can connect via HDMI cable.
