There is a continuously growing number of publications available recording R&D results and information in science and technology. For glass and related fields, all the important literature is collected in the DGG library.

In order to guarantee an updated access to interesting results and information, since 1994 the documentation service has focussed on literature research in international on-line databases.

The great advantage of the DGG library is the comprehensive availability of original literature also to visitors (after booking).

DGG has an extensive reference library on all aspects of the topic »glass«. Currently, it contains about 13 420 books from the 18th c. until today, numerous pamphlets and university publications, 7680 volumes of journals, and approx. 250 current issues of journals and other periodicals.

Everybody interested in the topic of glass in the broadest sense has access to the DGG library, be it a glass specialist, student, collector, artist, etc…

The DGG library is a reference library, i.e. any of the books is supposed to be always available! Lending is not possible therefore. Instead, visitors may read, extract or do copies from books in the library.

If it is inconvenient to you to visit the library, simply request copies by email or phone. The DGG librarian can do copies as far as this is in accordance with the existing copyright. Literature not available in the DGG library can be retrieved in other libraries and copies may be obtained from them.
