Library

As both a university and a regional library, the University Library of Erlangen-Nürnberg is the knowledge hub for not only FAU, but also Middle Franconia. With one Main Library, three Branch Libraries, 15 Departmental Libraries, and approximately 200 locations, we maintain a strong presence throughout the region and are always close by.

Our collection comprises around 5.5 million items, ranging from valuable manuscripts to the latest e-books. We provide literature, information and archival services for Bavaria’s second-largest university.

Our targeted services benefit researchers, faculty, students, schools and the general public. Open Access and research data management make research visible and accessible to all.
