Holdings
The Library for Law offers literature covering all areas of legal studies. In line with the research priorities of the academic units, the collection focuses on the following areas of law: public law, civil and corporate law, labor and social law, European and international law, white-collar crime, intellectual property law, and tax and financial law. Specialized literature on tax law is also available at the Institute for Tax Law.
The print collection currently comprises approximately 80,000 books and 320 active journal subscriptions. In addition, a variety of electronic media, such as e-books and e-journals, are available on the on-site computer terminals.
Loans and Library Use
The Library for Law’s book collection is available for borrowing by WU staff 24/7. Two self-checkout machines and a return box can be used for independent borrowing and returns. Students and external library patrons have the option to use the entire collection on-site. A reference collection (Lesesaalnutzung) containing key legal reference works and foundational literature is permanently available in the reading room and cannot be borrowed by academic staff either. Codes and books from the legal textbook collection may be borrowed exclusively by WU students.
There are four color scanners in the Library for Law. You can create scans as PDF, TIF, or JPG files and save them to a removable storage device (USB drive or memory card) or send them via email. Use of the scanners is free of charge.
