A central task of GetInfo is the setup and enhancement of a full-text server providing digitised documents and convenient search options using the bibliographic data of the content.
Scientific authors and publishers are offered the possibility to submit their documents directly to GetInfo for indexing, online availability, long-term archiving and marketing.
The new online literature shop is the result of a merger of two well-known electronic document delivery services, TIBOrder of TIB Hannover, and FIZ AutoDoc of FIZ Karlsruhe.
Hence GetInfo offers online technology, functionalities, and service that have been continuously developed over the years to meet customers' needs and proved effective.
This technology will enable users, among other things, to order primary literature directly from the TIB catalogue and in the near future even from one of STN International's specialist databases while in an online session.
Orders of publications that are not available in TIB's holdings are carried out by major international libraries with whom FIZ Karlsruhe and TIB Hannover maintain co-operation agreements.
In addition, renowned international publishers and information providers participate in GetInfo.
Further scientific publishers will be added in the future.
In total, 50,000 current journals, among them 522 in electronic version, can be accessed.
Using the GetInfo "browse e-journals" functionality, customers can conveniently browse the indexes of these journals for free.
Moreover, GetInfo co-operates with national and international universities and research institutions with the purpose of making available technical research literature.
This so-called "grey literature", which is not readily accessible through commercial bookselling channels, comprises for example German research reports, papers from universities and research institutions, conference proceedings, dissertations as well as relevant preprints and reports.
