The library is the central service department for research information and documentation for the scholars working at the ICI. It seeks continuously to develop the best service available for research in an efficient, timely manner, matching the needs of its users.
As an internal service unit, the library restricts its services to members, visiting scholars, and associate partners of the institute. External guests are welcome to consult the library's holdings on-site upon appointment.
Collection building focuses on key aspects of cultural studies scholarship related to the ICI core projects and events. The library offers a range of conventional and digital services. Its collections include reference works, primary texts, and selected research literature in their original language and/or in English; additionally a selection of daily papers and print journals. A Fellow Library as well as the ICI Edition, a DVD event documentation, are in development. Our collection is researchable in a local Online-Catalog which is incorporated to the Union Catalogue of the Common Library Network GBV.
Complementing our own collection, the library's internal book order service procures resources from library stocks in Berlin and beyond.
Members of the ICI have unrestricted access to the library at any time. External guests may visit the library on appointment Mon - Fri 10 am - 3 pm, Wed - 5 pm.
