The library at the Institute of Geophysics holds about 21, 000 monographs, active subscriptions to numerous journals and 1, 600 maps on geophysics.

Using the library

The library is located in room 314 on the third floor of our institute building at Corrensstr. 24. During the opening hours our library can be used by all interested visitors. No registration is needed. As it is a reference library, borrowing in very urgent cases is posssible for a short time. Participants of geophysical lectures can borrow some special text books bought by means of tuition fees for a longer period. In the library a copier is available.
