About the library
ERA’s library is specialised in publications on European law, which are available in the Academy’s working languages pf English, French and German. Its collection includes relevant legal journals (including the quarterly journal ERA Forum), daily newspapers, and other publications related to European law. Its main purpose is to provide publications and works of reference to ERA staff and participants at ERA’s events. In June 1999, the library was opened to the public as a reference library.
European Documentation Centre (EDC)
The ERA library has the status of an EDC and receives most documents published by the Publications Office of the European Union in English, French and German. They are available for research and reference in a separate section of the library.
