Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Library - Other Service Offers

In the reading room of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library readers may, in situ, use CD-ROMs (data bases and individual publications), some special microfiche editions and other aids.

CD-ROM Offers

You will find the CD-ROMs constantly available on our network when using one of the terminals in the library's catalogue room and clicking on the menu option "Archive and Library" ("Archiv und Bibliothek") and then choose the sub-point "Information Data Bases" ("Informationsdatenbanken"). The information has been laid down according to the following system:

1. General Data Bases

• Library-related Data Bases
• Biographical Data Bases
• Research-related Data Bases
• Statistical Data Bases
• Newspapers and Periodicals

2. Historico-Political Data Bases

• Chronicles/ Encyclopaedias / Works of Reference
• History and Politics/ Labour and Trade Union Movements
• History and Politics/ Topics CD-ROM

The following .pdf format inventory list (only in german language) will give you an overview of the CD-ROMs available at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library.

Before coming for a visit, you should inquire as to the availability of the CD-ROM offers either by e-mail or by telephone. Use of the CD-ROMs might be limited due to technical (e.g. installation activities) or organizational reasons (e.g. if the desired CD-ROM has been sent out due to inter-library lending).

Microfiche Editions

The Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library owns some basic microfiche editions which can only be used in the library itself. These are some biographical microfiche publications and some historic source collections. A list in .pdf format will give you an overview over the microfiche editions (only in german language) available at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Library.
