Library and Information Science

De Gruyter is the number one in Germany in the area of Library Sciences, and is also one of the leading publishing houses internationally. Our high profile is based on decades of working together with the IFLA and on the publication of the “Green Backs” and “Red Backs” that librarians are so familiar with. In the German-speaking world, our manuals and journals in help to support everyday work in libraries. Publications with an interdisciplinary focus from the areas of Book Studies, Information Sciences and Publishing and recognized reference works complete our range.
