PRIF Library Expands Online Collection

A look inside the PRIF library: bookshelves, seating areas, and a computer.

New additions to international academic publishers

Since January 2026, the PRIF library has been offering additional access to inter­national academic publishers, supple­menting its existing collection of e-books. This gives the institute's researchers access to e-books from the four largest pub­lishers in the field of inter­national relations: Oxford UP, Cambridge UP, Routledge, and Springer.

External visitors can also use the new digital ser­vices if they work on site as walk-in users. The library, which was re­designed when the institute moved in September 2025, offers nu­merous comfortable work­spaces and a group study room.

The PRIF library is Germany's lar­gest specialist library in the field of peace and con­flict research. It is also open to exter­nal users.
