  The Bavarian Library Network (German: Bibliotheksverbund Bayern, abbreviated BVB) is a library association of more than 150 academic libraries in Bavaria, Germany. It operates a union catalog, the Bavarian Union Catalog. The catalog is not part of K10plus.
  
  Based in Munich, it is one of the main library consortia in Germany, which lacks a singular, centralized institution.
