Documents required for research
The library of the Institute, established in December 1959 as a predecessor of the Institute, served the document supply of the Szombathely Teacher Training Institute. From 1974, it managed the libraries of 11 departmental depositories and the Bolyai János Practical School within the framework of the independent Szombathely Teacher Training College, and developed into the most important specialised library for pedagogy in the region. In 1977, a media library was established to support audiovisual training at the college.
The libraries of ELTE have a so-called collection sharing arrangement, whereby the libraries of the different faculties and the collection of the University Library and Archives together provide direct access to the literature of the sciences taught and researched at the University.
The Savaria Library and Archives provides library services to students and staff of the faculties and departments of the ELTE in Szombathely. Its collections are mainly in the fields of teacher education, pedagogy and psychology, engineering and economics.
The Savaria Library and Archives - as the successor of the Berzsenyi Dániel College and the Library of the Savaria University Centre of the University of West Hungary - is one of the largest higher education libraries in Transdanubia, which has been operating as a unit of the ELTE University Library and Archives since 2017. It is a public library whose primary mission is to provide access to the necessary documents and information as a reference resource for teaching and research at the institution.
