Chronicon, a subject portal for historical science, is a comprehensive information system for the history of Western and Eastern Europe. The content is based on collections from the Bavarian State Library in the sections history and culture of German-speaking countries, Italy, France and Eastern Europe. The Bavarian State Library updates this part of its collections regularly. Moreover, the portal provides access to special catalogues, subject bibliographies, free Internet resources, the most important relevant licensed databases, and an encompassing collection of retrospectively digitized materials. The integrated concept of search, information presentation, and document delivery by means of a common workflow is the most outstanding feature of the portal. The whole content can be retrieved via a meta search, whereas formal or content-related criteria can be applied. Lending, ordering of copies, inter-library loan, or contact to external services (online book traders) are tightly integrated. This means that the obtaining of the desired document should work as efficiently as possible. Due to a dynamic reference linking system, documents available online can be accessed by means of a simple mouse click. Moreover, Chronicon provides direct access to licensed databases by means of an integrated pay-per-use-component. Due to this, registered users are able to search CD-ROMs and online databases via remote access. |
