Fast alle Veröffentlichungen der Europäischen Union werden in der Zentralbibliothek der Europäischen Kommission gesammelt. Der Bestand der 1958 gegründeten Bibliothek bietet somit einen historischen und aktuellen Überblick über die europäische Integration und kann  über den Katalog der Zentralbibliothek (ECLAS) recherchiert werden.

Die European Library ermöglicht die Suche in den Beständen der europäischen Nationalbibliotheken.

Die virtuelle europäische Bibliothek Europeana bietet Links zu 6 Millionen digitalen Objekten wie Bilder, Fotografien, Texte, Tonaufnahmen und Videos.
