Access

As a rule, access to the archived sources is free for everyone.

In individual cases, limitations can occur due to copyright and/or due to reasons of the protection of personality rights. In those cases, instead of free and general access, the sources can only be accessed from the Marbacher campus. In the case of archives which have been lent to us on a permanent basis, the sources are not released to the public.

The online archive itself is provided and maintained by the DLA Marbach. The features and competences thus located here include: 

• Operation and hosting of the Literature on the Web collection
• Administration of the corresponding Digital Object Identifiers
• Responsibility for long-term archiving in cooperation with an external, trustworthy archive

Indexing and access to the online archive utilise the following cataloguing systems:

• Locally: the German Literature Archive’s online catalogue Kallías
• Regionally: the union catalogue of the Southwestern region (SWB)
• Nationally: Journal Database (ZDB) and the Virtual Subject Library of German Literature
• Internationally: WorldCat
