Our Online Catalogue contains all the literature acquired by the HRK Library since 1996. This currently amounts about 52.000 title entries (monographs, essays and extracts from monographs, essays from journals, magazines and newspapers, study and examination regulations for degree  courses offered by German higher education institutions, brochures, the grey literature series, legal texts and laws). Around half of all title entries are made up of analysed journal articles or essays taken from books.

Since the HRK library does not participate in the interlibrary loan system, we regret that search result-based document deliveries are not possible. However, you can order the required literature via a document delivery service or can obtain the literature via your local library:
