The Saxon State and University Library - SLUB for short - is one of the most efficient academic libraries in Germany:

  • As a classical state library, it comprehensively collects and archives publications about Saxony as well as publications subject to delivery in Saxony.
  • As the library of the Technical University of Dresden, it provides information for a research-intensive full university with a particularly broad range of subjects.
  • As a state library, the SLUB fulfils important coordination and service functions for the libraries in the Free State of Saxony.

At our six locations we have created lively sites of academic exchange. Our mission is: With the help of forward-looking technologies, we want to create knowledge, network it transparently and make it available at a low threshold. In doing so, we are committed to our extensive heritage spanning six centuries, and today we resolutely uphold the ideals of open access.
