About us
The Media and Information Centre MIZ combines ZHdK's library and archives. It was created in 2007 when the libraries and documentation centres of the former Hochschule fรผr Gestaltung HGKZ (University for Design) and the Hochschule Musik und Theater HMT (University of Music and Theatre) merged to form the Zรผrcher Hochschule der Kรผnste (Zurich University of the Arts). It holds around 300,000 media, documents and objects.
As a public specialist library, MIZ offers an extensive archive of analogue and digital media covering all of the university's courses of study.
In the Toni Campus shared by Zรผrcher Hochschule der Kรผnste and the Zรผrcher Hochschule fรผr Angewandte Wissenschaften (Zurich University of Applied Sciences), the Media and Information centre MIZ and the ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek Zรผrich (Zurich University Library ZHAW) form the central location for media, learning and research as the "Bibliotheken und Archive" ("libraries and archives").
