Who we are and what you get

We capture tables of contents of printed and electronic books and run AI based translation in 249 languages and deep indexing. So you can search more specific than with normal library subject indexing. Main subjects areas are social science, economics, natural science, life science, technologies and art, and regional literature about Western, Eastern and Northern Europe and South America. About 10.000 items are added monthly. There are links to holding libraries and the KVK for searching holdings at other libraries globally or at booksellers. Some libraries extract article references from 1500 printed periodicals, often not available online elsewhere.

Work parts of books added: Cover pages, subject index, bibliography and summaries
The Herder-Institut in Marburg started to add work parts, to open a deeper look into registers and bibliographies. We implemented additional navigation buttons. As an example you can search "Newest" books (the button at the top), select in the facets (red filter icon) the Herder Institut (DE_IN_Herder) and switch above the content display area with the icon to show cover pages and browse with the large blue buttons through these cover pages. Example:
dandelon.com. The same content is provided addtionally to
HEBIS catalog.
