The University Libraries in Saxony-Anhalt

The University and State Library of Saxony-Anhalt (ULB Halle) at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg is the largest academic library system in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. This infrastructure, accessed via the "bibliothek.uni-halle.de" portal, manages millions of physical works as well as offering users integrated access to modern digital services, interlibrary loans (databases) and rich electronic resources through the central library account. The institution also houses comprehensive collections dedicated to Middle East and North Africa (MENA) studies and historically invaluable specialized archives, such as the renowned Jacob M. Landau Collection. Providing advanced research infrastructures and open access platforms, Saxony-Anhalt university libraries provide an excellent bridge between the physical preservation of rare historical documents and the dynamic requirements of modern digital research.
