New Database Information System DBIS

Since October 15, 2024, the database information system (DBIS) - the research tool for specialist databases - has been online in a new design! With the new version, the layout and user interface have been completely revised and placed on a new technical basis to enable you to use it in a more modern and intuitive way. This is now available not only in German, but also in English.

DBIS helps you find the right databases for your research needs. In DBIS we show you which databases are freely available and provide you with access to our licensed databases. Availability is indicated by a traffic light system - known from the Electronic Journals Library (EZB). The search results can now be refined using filters.

The new interface has not yet been fully implemented. There may therefore be changes to the display in the near future.

The new DBIS version was developed in a DFG project (funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) - 440516279). The University Library of Regensburg, in broad cooperation with the (inter)national library system, further developed the database information system into a web service closely aligned to the new needs of users. DBIS lists all important information on databases, enables a quick and well-founded selection and allows individual views to be flexibly adapted. Over 370 participating institutions are working together cooperatively, including us!
