FID network NorthEast

The NordOst network combines several specialist information services (FID) whose services are aimed at research on northern and eastern Europe. The network currently includes the following FIDs:

• FID Northern Europe (UB Kiel)
• FID Eastern, East Central and Southeastern Europe (Bavarian State Library)
• FID Slavic Studies (Berlin State Library)

The aim of the network is to coordinate the services of the participating FIDs and to jointly expand them in order to offer humanities and social science research on Northern, Eastern, Eastern Central and Southeastern Europe an optimal infrastructure. In particular, the cooperation should facilitate access to research literature, research tools and other information offers on all regions, languages ​​and subjects represented in the network and increase the visibility of the individual offers in the communities.

How do we achieve this?

• We coordinate the acquisition of literature and the licensing of electronic services such as databases.
• We coordinate the free digitization of copyright-free literature and make it available - also on demand - in open access.
• We set common standards in cataloging and usually list research literature in the original script and transliteration so that you can research more effectively. The metadata we generate can be used by other libraries in their research tools.
• We link the offers of the network partners in our portals so that your research effort is as small as possible.
• We hold joint training courses and information events and are happy to advise you on questions about research or individual service offers.
• And much more
