Yale University Library Research Guides: German Language and Literature: Home

Welcome

The goal of this guide is to direct you to the best resources for the study of German language and literature at Yale. The guide includes reference works, monographs, journal articles, databases owned or licensed by the library, and links to external web resources.

Questions? Would you like to discuss your research strategies, or even just bounce around a few ideas for a paper? Please give me a call (203) 436-9215 or email me (michael.printy@yale.edu). I have several years of experience working in German libraries and universities and would be happy to talk with you about studying and researching in Germany.
