History
SDUB is the result of a merger between the research libraries of the four institutions, Odense University, the Southern Denmark School of Business and Engineering and the South Jutland University Centre, which now constitute The University of Southern Denmark. The merger was effective from the 1st January 1999. In 2006 SDU merged with the Odense University College of Engineering, so that Odense Technical Library became a part of SDUB. The Business School Centre in Slagelse was incorporated into the University of Southern Denmark in the beginning of 2007 and its library became the fifth campus library.

—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
