English abstract

The TIB (i.e. German National Library of Science and Technology) is one of the largest libraries in the world specialised in technical and scientific literature, whose task is to collect, archive and grant access nationwide to documents coming from all over the world and written in all languages. These services are mainly meant for the academic world and Research and Development in the industrial field. In co-operation with its major customers, the library has also developed several products and portals for full text provision (printouts and digital formats). The TIB has customers in 87 countries. Besides text documents, the library also provides services in the field of multimedia, 3-D architectural rendering and primary data (scientific raw data) thanks to a “competence centre for non-text material”. The TIB - which will be jointly financed by the federal and the local governments – is going to be evaluated for a seven-year period and will benefit from business management tools aimed at guaranteeing a strategic leadership.
