General Information
The Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek EZB (Electronic Journals Library) offers an effective use of both scientific and academic journals publishing full text articles in the internet.
This service has been developed at the Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg (University Library of Regensburg) in cooperation with the Universitätsbibliothek der Technischen Universität München (University Library of the Technical University of Munich).
All the time, the EZB is being further enlarged .
Meanwhile, 559 libraries and research institutions make use of this service in their daily work.
They collect the titles cooperatively and update the bibliographic data jointly in a central database. For each participating institution, we generate a range of electronic journals adapted to the respective library's requirements. Each member can administer for itself the locally licensed journals and integrate individual user instructions by means of a decentralized specific license administration. Online journals on subscription can therefore be offered within the same system as free e-journals.
The Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg is in charge of the technical maintenance and further development.
Functions
The EZB offers fast, structured and standardized access to scientific and academic full text journals.
At the moment, it contains 53495 titles, among them 7363 online-only journals, covering all subjects. 28128 journals can be read free-of-charge. Additionally, the participating libraries offer full text access to the respective journals they subscribe to.
