The University Library includes all of Freie Universität’s libraries – the main library at Garystr. 39, the specialised libraries and the University Archive.
It provides physical and virtual learning and communication spaces to facilitate analogue and digital encounters and exchange. As a modern, service-oriented information provider for members of Freie Universität, it creates reliable access to data, information and knowledge – among other things by providing over 9 million media (books, e-books, journals, databases, etc.) as well as 3,500 individual and group workstations on campus.
Users residing in Berlin or the state of Brandenburg will receive a user card free of charge upon presentation of their identity card or passport with a registration certificate when they appear in person at the circulation desk.
Universitätsbibliothek – Freie Universität Berlin
For almost 200 years, the University Library (UB) of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has been providing students, teachers and academics with the specialist literature they need for their learning and research work. Today, it is the most visited academic library in Germany, with the majority of the acquisition budget being used for e-resources. In the context of publication and accessibility of literature, open access is becoming increasingly important. In addition to providing information, the library is an important meeting place for intensive academic exchange.
Please use the form to register. To complete the registration process, please present your valid identity card or passport with German registration confirmation and, if applicable, your student ID card at one of the service counters. Registration is free of charge. Further information on registration can be found here.
