• Economics is an interactive e-journal.
• National licences – free access to economic full texts and journal archives.
• Virtual Libraries as part of the system of Nationwide Library Services: Services and Usage (ViFaSys)
• DigiZeitschriften (Digital Journals) offers direct internet access to German scientific journals of particular relevance from the first issue to the present.
• Retrospective digitalisation of historic press cuttings on paper, microfilm and microfiche of the historic press material in the archives of the ZBW.
