Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library

Specialised Information Service (SIS) Performing Arts

In 2015, the Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library began setting up and developing the Specialised Information Service (SIS) Performing Arts for theatre and dance studies. The Specialised Information Services (SIS) subsidised by the German Research Foundation (DFG) originated from the Special Subject Collections (Sondersammelgebiete, SSG) which have now been replaced by this subsidised project.
Bringing together and creating a network of people from the field using a library and archive infrastructure, the SIS offers a unique interface and coordination service. To this end, the SIS develops and coordinates workshops, conferences and publishes written informational texts and other materials which document the work process. The aim of the project is to strengthen the position of the performing arts in the long term, and to develop additional collaborations and joint projects.
