Collection and Holdings
The Department Library of Social and Cultural Anthropology is responsible for the literature and information supply of the scientists and the students of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology. It is also open to all other students of the University of Cologne and other interested parties for professional and personal information and further education.
The library offers about 28,000 books, as well as 65 journals and series.
The special emphases are Africa (especially southern Africa) and Asia (especially South Asia and Indonesia).
Most of the inventory is freely accessible in the premises and can be borrowed - apart from a small reference collection.
