In this article an introduction to the algebraic aspects of the Bethe ansatz is given. The applications to the seminal spin 1/2 XXX model are discussed in detail and the generalization to higher spin as well as XXZ and the lattice sine-Gordon model are indicated. The origin of quantum groups and their appearance in CFT models are explained. The text can be considered as a guide to the research papers in this field.
