The resources of the Saarland University and State Library are available not only to university staff and students but to all Saarland residents aged 16 or older. They can also use the resources and information services of our library outside the Saarland via interlibrary loans or other delivery services.

A survey of resources is provided by our Online Public Access Catalogue:
http://opac.sulb.uni-saarland.de/

You can search there in the entire range of the multimedia links of the scholarly libraries, or systematically in the SULB catalogue.

As a State Library, we collect literature and audiovisual media on the Saarland. You can search online in our Saarland Bibliography for places, persons, and subjects. In addition, we collect all publications of Saarland publishers and organizations. You can now also borrow CDs and audio and video cassettes from us.

The Saar-Lor-Lux-Alsace Literature Archive evolved out of the Gustav Regler Research Workshop (1978) and is now organizationally a part of the SULB. At present it offers researchers some two dozen estates and bequests, documents on publishing and institutional history, a reference library of some 2,500 volumes on borderland literature, sound documents, CDs and videos. An impression of the diversity of the material and of the developing range of digital resources is conveyed by the writer Alfred Gulden's survey "Mit allen Mitteln" (With All Means). It is based on the more comprehensive "ELSA" project (Electronisches Literaturarchiv Saar-Lor-Lux-Elsass / Saar-Lor-Lux-Alsace Electronic Literature Archive), which is being set up in cooperation with the Information Studies Department (Prof. Dr. Harald Zimmermann).

Since 1965 the SULB has been in charge of the Psychology Special Collection Base. You can borrow from us psychological literature of scholarly relevance from Germany and abroad. We also buy (to a limited extent) works of popularized scholarship; and we collect tests, CDs, and audio and video cassettes.

Since 1998 the German Research Society DFG has funded the development of an SSG (= Sondersammelgebiet or Special Collection Field) specialized information portal. The aim is to set up a Virtual Specialized Library of Psychology, an Internet guide to psychological information sources accessible via the Internet as well as to CD ROM databases and printed reference works.

If you are interested in a particular psychological title, consult our online catalogue (see the section on "SULB information centre").
