About EconBiz
EconBiz, the Virtual Library for Economics and Business Studies, is a joint project of the German National Library of Economics (ZBW) and the University and City Library of Cologne (USB Köln).
During the start-up phase the project was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG). EconBiz is continuously improved through co-operation with other institutions and with the active support of the EconBiz Advisory Board.
The aim of the USB Cologne and the ZBW is to establish a central gateway for a broad range of economic information and to give direct access to full text documents.
EconBiz offers:
- a search engine including important German and international databases for economics and business studies
- access to full texts on the Internet,
- a calendar of events in economics and business studies,
- a directory of internet resources in economics, selected for their quality and relevance to the subject,
- a directory of subject-specific databases,
- the reference service EconDesk which supports you in your search for information in economics and business studies,
- Literature lists on current topics (ECONIS Select Economics, ECONIS Select Business Studies).
New: With EconBiz Open we offer you a gateway to about 1 million free online full texts in economics and business studies.
More information services will be implemented in EconBiz in the future. The EconBiz news section and the EconBiz newsletter keep you up-to-date on these and other new developments.
