Government Publications
The library of the Ibero-American Institute collects government publications on a large scale from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal. These documents supplement the collections of official publications available at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library) and the holdings of the Library of the German Bundestag. Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation), the IAI has, for instance, acquired a complete collection of back issues of parliamentary papers and law gazettes on microfilm and in electronic form. The holdings are indexed in the online catalog and the ZDB database. The documents can be ordered on library premises or through the interlibrary loan system. There are several reader-printers in the library's reading room for materials on microfilm.
