Central subject libraries

The central subject libraries serve as a national literature and information supplier for the highly specialized demands of science and research. They offer you comprehensive search possibilities, as it is their purpose to collect the publications of their subject as completely as possible and make them available through interlibrary loan. This includes publications within Germany and abroad as well as so-called grey literature (e.g. preprints).
