History

The Ludwigshafen University Library was founded in 1965. In 2008,[4] it integrated the library of the Lutheran University for Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen. The nucleus of the collection of this Lutheran Library, which had been founded in 1971, may be traced back to a library of the Speyer Inner Mission. One branch of the Ludwigshafen University Library is the Library of the East Asia Institute Ludwigshafen.

Collections

The books and e-books are primarily written in German and English (30% English-language volumes in publication years 2017–2019).[5] The library also provides access to its e-collections via online portals for searching and full-text reading. The ratio of printed books and e-books (published 2017–2019) is 1:2.[6]

Access to full text journal articles is available through the Electronic Journals Library (EZB).[7] Access to the databases is available through the Database Information System (DBIS)[7]

Networks and cooperations

The Ludwigshafen University Library relies on the Hochschulbibliothekszentrum (hbz),[8] a union catalog that itemizes the collections of 63 university and state libraries in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Ludwigshafen University Library is also actively engaged in the community of Rhineland-Palatinate libraries and collaborates with the Mannheim University Library.
