Research Database Index - Browse all BI databases

The DBISResearch (Datenbank-Infosystem)Database Index is an index of all research databases available to the Bi community.

At BI we have access to databases provided by the Nationallizenz (DFG) and our partnership with Bahçeşehir University; plus a growing number of open-access resources. While wonderful to have access to such a large number of resources, it can be inconvenient to try to sort out what is available.

That's where DBIS comes in. DBIS was developed by the University of Regensburg to address just such a problem and is continuously maintained by the ~350 member libraries. Indeed, you may recognise the DBIS interface since it is used by nearly all German university and regional libraries.
