The library of the John F. Kennedy Institute differs from other American studies libraries primarily in the breadth of its collection, which extends across the entire spectrum of the humanities and social sciences. The library not only supports teaching and research at the Kennedy Institute itself, but also serves an important function on both regional and national levels. The library carries out these services with the help of interlibrary loan and financial support from the German Research Foundation.
