Data bases at HZB

The library provides you with access to a large number of science data bases on literature and on factual information. Some you can use right on your computer desktop, others are put to use for you through searches that the library initiates on your instruction.

On the IGAFA pages, you find more information about data bases at the Adlershof site.

If you need access to data bases beyond what you can use from your office you may want to have the library do the research for you. There are forms for such research in the library, which you need to fill out. But first you should talk to us as usually the proper research process is formed interactively between you and the information specialist in the library.
