All scientific publications of the University of Luxembourg are now available on the National Library of Luxembourg’s online repository. 

Open Repository and Bibliography — ORBilu — is now accessible on the a-z.lu search engine, with more than 26,000 publications including 8,000 which are available in full text Open Access. 

All articles published by University of Luxembourg researchers in peer-reviewed scientific journals as well as presentations published in conference proceedings are mandatory to be deposited in ORBilu.

Pioneered by the Bibliothèque Nationale de Luxembourg in collaboration with the University of Luxembourg, the move means that the scientific knowledge generated by the University and its collaborators is now open beyond the world of researchers, for the benefit of all, creating a more democratic access to knowledge. 

a-z.lu is the unified search engine that offers direct access to the catalogues of the 74 libraries of the bibnet network as well as to the contents of the digital libraries eluxemburgensia.lu of the National Library of Luxembourg and findit.lu of the Luxembourg Consortium for the acquisition And the management of digital publications. This search tool allows users to locate and visualise all the printed or digital document collections of most libraries in the Luxembourg public sector, storing more than 1.2 million references, 54,500 ejournals, 375,000 ebooks as well as 1.3 million pages digitised by the National Library of Luxembourg. A-z.lu also makes it possible to make a reservation of documents with the library of its choice, to communicate bibliographic references by e-mail, to make proposals for acquisitions or international loan orders.
