Scope of duties

• As part of the subject information service system for science in Germany funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), we operate the Specialised Information Service Northern Europe. Its service portfolio also includes, in particular, the acquisition of printed and electronic media for peak demand and their supraregional provision as well as a subject-specific portal.
• Historical holdings are part of our cultural heritage and are valuable sources for historical disciplines in study, teaching and research. We professionally preserve, maintain and restore these holdings.
• We make our holdings available to you by recording and describing them in a standardized way and making them available for national and international catalogs, databases and portals such as Zentrale Verzeichnis Digitalisierter Drucke (ZVDD), Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (DDB), Europeana. This includes the cataloging and subject indexing of new printed media as well as the indexing of scientific bequests and the cooperation in national bibliographic undertakings.
• We digitize our historical holdings and make them available to you via the major national and international reference portals, independent of location and time. Through indexing in search engines (e.g. Google, Google Scholar), the content can be researched and used worldwide.
