Citavi

The University Library has purchased a campus license for the desktop version of the Citavi literature management program. This gives all TU students and teachers the opportunity to use this program free of charge.

Citavi supports you in literature management and knowledge organization in study and research. With Citavi you can manage and structure your literature, ideas and citations and it supports you in writing scientific texts.

The period of the campus license was extended in December 2021. The license is now valid until 24.05.2025.
