Information on ressources included in CrossAsia Search

The CrossAsia search aims at a comprehensive, integrated access to all materials we can offer users from printed materials (via the Blauer Leihverkehr / Blue Loan Service) to electronic (full)text documents either subscribed by CrossAsia or freely available on the internet.

The grouping of the list below follows the categories of the CrossAsia database site and is arranged internally in alphabetical order. Data packages in progress are marked accordingly.
Data that was available in the "old" CrossAsia search via the integration of SRU, other APIs, etc. will be successively migrated to the new, shared index at VZG - insofar as this is possible, sensible and permitted. For some "remote" resources (e.g. BASE) this does not make sense or is currently not possible (e.g. for CiNii). As a "bridge" to these resources, the new CrossAsia search offers to redirect the entered search term to these portals.
