University Library TUM

With over 2 million printed and electronic items, 400,000 loans, over 10 million full-text downloads and 1.83 million library visitors each year, the university library is the academic information centre of the Technische Universität München (TUM). Our services support students, scientists and university staff in their studies, research, teaching, further education and advanced training.

At our nine branch libraries, situated at the university's campuses in Munich, Garching, Freising and Straubing, we provide comprehensive collections of literature and access to information in the fields of natural sciences and technology, architecture, engineering, educational studies, environmental science, landscape planning, life and food sciences. We also carry out tasks in the area of literature and information provision for research facilities, companies and private individuals both in Bavaria and nationwide. As a library for legal deposit, we archive an essential part of the technical literature published in Bavaria.
