We also make the holdings available by recording and describing them in a standardised manner and making them available for national and international catalogues, databases and portals such as the Central Directory of Digitised Prints (ZVDD), the German Digital Library (DDB) and Europeana. This includes cataloguing and subject indexing of new printed media, as well as indexing scientific estates and collaborating on national bibliographic projects.
