Using Libraries in Europe

Letters of Introduction for Doing Research at Other Libraries
Faculty and graduate students needing to perform research at libraries abroad may request a letter of introduction from the Anthropology Librarian, from their department's library liaison, or from the Research and Instructional Services department. Many research and university libraries require such letters from outside researchers.

National Libraries
The National Library Catalogues Worldwide gateway allows you to search online catalogs of national libraries from all over the world. Catalogs are generally written in language(s) native to the home country, although many offer a web interface in English and other popular languages.

Locating Libraries in Europe
Libraries on the Web: European Libraries provides links to university, public and other libraries in Europe.
