118 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 Jürgen Lautwein, administrative director Administration and Personnel Development The MPIfG has some 30 permanently funded positions, 14 of which are for researchers. Other researchers at the institute are funded by grants from foundations, the German government and the European Union, and by doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships. The institute also hosts visiting researchers from Germany and abroad, whose stays last from one month to two years. Projects conducted jointly with scholars from other countries and with other institutions have increased in number and importance. The staffs of the administration, the computer department, the editorial and public relations unit, the library and the secretariats are the infrastructural backbone of the institute. They provide continual support for the research staff and contribute to the technical and organizational development of the institute. The institute encourages its employees to improve their professional skills by taking part in continuing education programs, including in-house seminars. Two female employees represent the interests of women at the institute. Student assistants provide support for researchers and staff members. The Max Planck Society (MPG) uses SAP, a commercial bookkeeping system, which has enabled it to develop a budgeting procedure that facilitates more financial flexibility for the institutes. This flexibility has been welcomed by the institutes, which are called upon to increase their efficiency and fine-tune their project planning in the face of decreasing funding for the Max Planck Society. In 2002 the MPG started using SAP’s personnel administration program, SAP Human Resources (SAP HR). Members of the MPIfG’s administrative staff cooperated with their counterparts at other MPIs and with the administrative headquarters of the Max Planck Society in Munich to customize SAP HR to meet the needs of Max Planck institutes and have continued to be involved in optimizing the program. In 2003, the new projects will be the implementation of cost accounting and rating, and launching e-commerce for the MPIs’ purchasing. The administration provides information and advice on project funding opportunities and project management for the researchers. Library The library supports the institute’s research by providing the researchers and staff with media and information and helping them find sources located outside the institute. The library’s services include purchasing, classifying and lending mono-
graphs and periodicals, providing an online catalog, processing interlibrary loans, excerpting tables of contents of selected journals, providing research tools in print and online, assisting users in finding specialized databases, and conducting online searches upon request. The Collection The library’s collection, which has grown to 43,000 items, emphasizes basic social science literature and project-specific holdings. Its data pool contains 180,000 items, as large numbers of articles from edited volumes and journals are cataloged. The institute borrows some 2,500 titles a year from the Cologne University Library or via interlibrary loan. Subscriptions to 220 printed scholarly journals, access to 750 online journals and subscriptions to German, English and French news-papers enable the researchers and staff to keep up with what’s happening in their own fields and in the world of international politics and business. In 2002–03, there was a special emphasis on completing the institute’s collection of classics on sociology and political thought. Online Catalog The library’s catalog, which has been online since 1999, can be accessed directly via the internet by employees and by anyone visiting the MPIfG website. In 2001, the library converted to a new library software system, Aleph500. In collaboration with several other Max Planck libraries, it has adapted the program to suit the institute’s needs. Library data is stored on a joint server at a Max Planck computer center. The joint use of a centrally administered server provides an optimal basis for the library’s information management. Online Information Services The library provides many online information services, such as databases located on the internet, on the institute’s CD-ROM server, or on CD-ROMs that can be used in the library. The databases include a wide range of bibliographies, newspaper archives, online journals, business, law and organization directories and statistical services. Database providers such as GENIOS or GBI can also be accessed. All the databases are available to MPIfG users in the virtual library on the institute’s website, along with a carefully edited selection of research links to other websites.
