Bonn University and State Library

Information on the USL’s organizational structure, including all its divisions, details of who is responsible for what, and an overview of contacts from A to Z.

In August 2022, the USL is beginning its switch to a new library management system, which is set to go live in September 2023.

The project is designed to produce the first-ever systematic review of the USL’s old holdings focusing specifically on books seized as a result of Nazi persecution and is the largest undertaking of its kind currently underway in Bonn.

The government of North Rhine-Westphalia has been funding a state-wide project to digitize its historical newspapers since 2017.

The Research Data Service Center can assist you with all aspects of research data management, from planning and proposing research projects to publishing and archiving your research data.

The service center provides you with comprehensive support, from details of current funding opportunities through to advice and information on choosing the right license.

Academic works from the University can be published electronically on bonndoc.

The team of subject librarians can give you wide-ranging specialist advice on things like literature searches, reference management and requesting the purchase of new items.

This lets you run simultaneous searches in the catalogs of public libraries based in Bonn and the surrounding area.

If you have any questions about the items we hold, would like to do some research in our collections, are interested in historical and cultural studies in the Rhineland region or want to deposit your publication with us as an obligatory copy, our website is just the right place for you.
