Core responsibilities of this office include the processing and dissemination of the BIBB's research and work results for specific target groups, the provision of up-to-date information to the (expert) public as well as the documentation of specialist literature on the topics pertaining to vocational education and training.
The library that forms part of the office constitutes the largest scientific special library on the subject area of vocational education and training and is available also to external visitors as a reference library.
In addition, the strategic office runs the research project "Open Access in VET research".
