The library is the primary tool for both members and guests of the Institute.  With a multi-lingual collection gathered from throughout the world, the library is a “Central Legal Library”, and possesses a comprehensive collection covering international commercial law, international private law and foreign civil law.  [more]

The Institute library principally facilitates the academic work undertaken by Institute scholars, and continually remains available for these individuals.  Consequently, the library is also conceived as a central research facility.  Visitors will be permitted access to the library when they can establish that no other library is able to adequately meet their scholastic needs.  [more]

The compilation of library holdings is retrievable under all conceivable criteria via the Institute OPAC system.  Furthermore, one finds links to the library’s own electronic collection (databanks and electronic journals) as well as an extensive selection of links to legal portals throughout the world.
