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 book and e-book collection primarily consists of German and English-language volumes (30% 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 with publication year 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 Libary 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 Libary also is actively engaged in the community of Rhineland-Palatinate libraries and collaborates with the Mannheim University Library.

gollark: I guess they didn't know about pcall.
gollark: I mean, it isn't actually asynchronous, but they use the event-driven way of using HTTP...
gollark: Your "edit function" I mean.
gollark: It sends a request to a URL, but appears to do it in a weird async way.
