The Libraries provide access to resources and services to support research on German language, literature, and culture at Notre Dame. This support is geared primarily toward the German Program but extends to anyone researching or learning about the German language, literature, and culture.

Relevant print materials are housed within the Hesburgh Library, primarily in the PT call number range on the 9th Floor, the PF call number range on the 8th Floor, as well as some publications in the Medieval Institute on the 7th Floor. A small collection of German language and literature reference titles in English is also available in the 1st Floor reference area. Additionally, a growing collection of titles in German for more casual, informal reading is located in the Non-English Leisure Reading Collection on the 1st Floor. The Libraries also provide access to online journals, ebooks, and primary sources.

The librarian for German language, literature, and culture, Julia Schneider, provides research consultations to students and faculty in one-on-one, small group, or classroom settings. Her expertise includes identifying appropriate sources for the study of German language and literature and assisting in developing a supportive bibliography.
