Abstract

The presentation demonstrates cooperative approaches in the field of digital library development in Germany from the perspective of Bochum University Library. It demonstrates the integrated OPAC, the regional union catalog, a search engine for national/international catalog resources, solutions for accessing international periodicals titles in printed and in electronic form, a database of databases, a regional digital library and further relevant national initiatives. The paper argues for teaching information competence, for integrating e-learning and e-publishing into the library’s information architecture and for international cooperation to further enhance information products and services.
