European UnionThe EU has established a network of depository libraries across the US to provide Americans with access to many of its official publications. All depositories automatically receive, free of charge, one copy of most EU periodical and monograph publications. The collections are available to the public during each library’s regular hours of operation, free of charge and without any conditions. Many of the libraries also offer interlibrary loan services. The University of Notre Dame is among the 57 despository libraries in the U.S.
