UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE

As part of the German Research Foundation's national literature supply system, the Special Collection Area (SSG) Benelux was responsible for the supply of literature across the Benelux until 2015. The SSG Benelux was maintained in cooperation between the University and City Library of Cologne and the University and State Library (ULB) of Münster. Within this special collection area, which is subdivided into the subdivisions Dutch Cultural Circle and Cultural Circle Belgium/Luxembourg, the UCL Cologne took over the management of the special collection Cultural Circle Belgium/Luxembourg. The focus of the collection, the Dutch Cultural Circle, and the coordination office were located at the ULB Münster. The funding of the special collection areas by the DFG was discontinued at the end of 2015.
