Latest Thinking (LT) aims to facilitate access to scientific research by asking leading researchers to explain their publications to a wider audience. Together with the scholars LT produces videos on their respective studies and collects those videos on the LT platform. In the videos, the researchers tell you what their question was, how they approached the problem, what they found out, where the relevance of their studies lies and how they or others may further deal with the subject. The Max Planck Society covers the video production charges for invited Max Planck researchers centrally. Further details are available on the MPDL website.

The literature search is based on two data collections, which can be searched either simultaneously or individually: * In addition to monographs and edited volumes, the VET Repository contains journal articles and articles from edited volumes. References to online publications are linked to the respective full texts. The content of the previous Literature Database for Vocational Education and Training (LDBB) has been merged into the VET Repository. * The library catalogue contains all media (physically) available in the library. BIBB employees can borrow books after registering. External users can use the library on site. ---- Die Literatursuche greift auf zwei Datenbestände zu, die wahlweise gleichzeitig oder einzeln durchsucht werden können. * Im VET Repository finden Sie neben Monografien und Sammelbänden auch Zeitschriftenaufsätze und Sammelbandbeiträge. Nachweise zu Online-Publikationen sind mit den jeweiligen Volltexten verlinkt. Der Bestand der bisherigen Literaturdatenbank Berufliche Bildung (LDBB) ist im VET Repository aufgegangen. * Der Bibliothekskatalog enthält alle in der Bibliothek (physisch) vorhandenen Medien. Eine Ausleihe ist für Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter des BIBB nach Anmeldung möglich. Externe können die Bibliothek vor Ort nutzen.

Open Syllabus is a non-profit research organization that collects and analyzes millions of syllabi to support novel teaching and learning applications. Open Syllabus helps instructors develop classes, libraries manage collections, and presses develop books. It supports students and lifelong learners in their exploration of topics and fields. It creates incentives for faculty to improve teaching materials and to use open licenses. It supports work on aligning higher education with job market needs and on making student mobility easier. It also challenges faculty and universities to work together to steward this important data resource. Open Syllabus currently has a corpus of nine million English-language syllabi from 140 countries. It uses machine learning and other techniques to extract citations, dates, fields, and other metadata from these documents. The resulting data is made freely available via the Syllabus Explorer and for academic research. The project was founded at The American Assembly, a public policy institute associated with Columbia University. It has been independent since 2019. All of the syllabi in the current collection are English language documents – including from universities where English is not the primary teaching language.
