ZB MED - Information Centre for Life Sciences

ZB MED - Information Centre for Life Sciences, Research and information center for life sciences in Cologne, Germany.

ZB MED is an information center for life sciences with two locations across Germany. The Cologne facility focuses on medicine and health sciences, while the Bonn location supports agricultural research and documentation.

The center was founded in 1973 through the merger of several specialist libraries, building on a medical collection from 1908 at the Academy of Practical Medicine. This merger brought together important holdings from multiple institutions to create a unified research resource.

The institution serves as Germany's central specialist library for medicine, health sciences, and agricultural research, supporting academic communities across the nation.

Reading rooms in Cologne are open on weekdays and provide access to over 30,000 electronic publications and specialized collections. Visitors can work with materials covering medicine, health sciences, and related research topics.

Through the PUBLISSO platform, researchers can publish their findings and preserve digital research data for future use. This allows scientists to share their work openly with the research community.
