Germany is the primary country of the collection but material from Austria and German-speaking Switzerland is also collected. Material from the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries and Africa are acquired on a selective basis.
The whole period of German language and literature is represented in the collection with concentration on material from Goethe's time to the present.
Retrospective and current publications are collected with emphasis on current material. New critical editions and works printed in the Roman alphabet are preferred.
Emphasis is given to material in the original languages but different translations of major authors are also collected for the benefit of students participating in the translator program and the European Cultural Studies program.
Standard scholarly editions of literary works of all major and most minor authors constitute the basis of the collection in the original and translated text, along with their critical analysis. Major journals of the German language and literature and some newspapers are also part of the collection. Electronic resources (reference material, full text collections of literary works) will be increasingly added to the collection. Microfilms are bought rarely, only when significant works are not available in other media. Theses/dissertations are acquired only by the request of the faculty. Audio/visual material is also acquired on request to support both language and literary studies.
