This is the big interdisciplinary university library. It is located on the university campus (building B1.1 on the campus map) and is accessible for all students, as well as everybody who is registered as living in Saarland. Their normal lending service is free of charge. It is not a reference library, i.e. you have to choose your books in an online catalogue, fill out a form and wait for the books to be brought from the repository. The online catalogue can also be accessed from outside the library building. For this catalogue and more information see the website.
