The MPIM library is a special library mainly serving the needs of scientific staff and guests of the Institute. The library collection includes books, journals, e-books, e-journals and databases. The library has also three daily newspapers in print: General Anzeiger, International New York Times and Süddeutsche Zeitung. Guests have also access to the online version of International New York Times and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
The library functions mainly as a reference library andit is strictly forbidden to take any of the books or journals out of the building. You may, however, borrow books or journals to your office. If the resource you need for your research is not held by the MPIM library, you can make an interlibrary loan request, suggest that we buy the title or check other local libraries.
