General Access Conditions and Terms of Use of Electronic Resources
Generally, the contracts allow electronic access to information to staff members, guest scientists, Ph. D. students and postdocs affiliated to a Max-Planck institution.
In general the main conditions are:
- The access is allowed for scientific and personal purposes only. Any usage for commercial purposes is prohibited
- Users are requested to respect the rules of scientific citing
- Only single articles may be downloaded. To make copies only for personal or scientific purposes is permitted
- Generally users are not allowed to send electronic copies (PDFs) to recipients outside the Max-Planck Society
- In those cases where a password is used, this must be kept confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties.
- Any systematic downloading of articles or search results, in particular by robots, is prohibited; this also applies to systematic downloads via reference management software (i.e. EndNote)
- All publishers reserve the right to disable access in cases of reasonable suspicion for abuse. Similarly, any breach of copyright can entail the same consequences. Technically this means that a campus if not the whole Max Planck Society may be switched off from access to the respective publisher's server.
- Users are recommended to read the Conditions of use for publishers of resources relevant to them.

Open Access for Libraries
Allgemeine Informationen
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unterstützt seit über zehn Jahren Initiativen zu "Open Access" und nimmt gleichzeitig als Begründerin der Berliner Erklärung und der sogenannten Berlin-Konferenzen eine Vorreiterrolle ein. Gut zwölf Prozent aller Max-Planck-Originalpublikationen sind mittlerweile im Open Access verfügbar. Diese Entwicklung soll weiterhin bestärkt und befördert werden, denn die unmittelbare, allgemeine und freie Zugänglichkeit des gesamten wissenschaftlichen Wissens ist erklärtes Ziel der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
Die MPDL unterstützt Open Access zum einen durch die Bereitstellung des Repositoriums "MPG.PuRe", das für die Veröffentlichung von Forschungsarbeiten als Original- oder Zweitveröffentlichung aus der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft von allen Instituten und Mitarbeitern genutzt werden kann. Des Weiteren werden im Bereich Information/Grundversorgung seit 2003 Rahmenverträge abgeschlossen, die eine zentrale kostenübernahme für Open-Access-Publikationskosten für MPG-Autoren regeln. Eine Übersicht über diese Verträge finden Sie unter "Open Access Publishing".

Authentifizierung und Registrierung
MPDL Campus & Travel Magic
Den Wissenschaftlern in der MPG soll der Zugang zu den benötigten wissenschaftlichen Informationsressourcen so leicht wie möglich gemacht werden. Hierbei unterstützt die MPDL die Institute. Innerhalb des Institutscampus wird der Zugriff meist über IP-Kontrolle ermöglicht. Doch auch für Zugriffe von unterwegs bietet die MPDL Lösungen an.
Zugang zu CAS SciFinder
Für Datenbanken CAS/Scifinder und STN ist eine persönliche Anmeldung erforderlich:
Registrierung für die Nutzung von iThenticate Plagiatserkennungs-Software

Zugangssysteme
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft hat das Ziel, jedem Mitarbeiter die für ihre/seine Arbeit notwendigen Informationsquellen in möglichst leicht zugänglicher Form zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die MPDL entwickelt und betreut Systeme und Werkzeuge, die in diese instituts-spezifischen Zugänge eingebunden werden können und Hintergrund-Funktionalitäten zur Verfügung stellen. Für Fragen zu den genannten Systemen stehen wir gerne zur Verfügung.

Bibliothekssysteme
Innerhalb der MPG kommen viele verschiedene Bibliothekssysteme zum Einsatz. Häufiger verwendet sind Aleph, PICA (Voraussetzung für die Verbundteilnahme beim GBV), KOHA, Allegro und Libero. Daneben gibt es weitere andere Systeme - auch selbstentwickelte Lösungen.
Citation Linker
Der Citation Linker erlaubt die direkte Suche einzelner Artikel, Zeitschriften oder Bücher und liefert die entsprechenden Links zu den Volltexten oder anderen relevanten Ressourcen. Erforderlich sind die Eingabe möglichst aller bekannten Informationen und ein Klick auf den MPG/SFX Button.
Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek, EZB
Die Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek verzeichnet mehr als 37.000 elektronische Zeitschriften und die zugehörigen Lizenzinformationen aus etwa 550 Bibliotheken und Bibliothekskonsortien. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nehmen 65 MPI-Bibliotheken an der EZB teil und machen das Angebot damit zu einem wichtiger Baustein in der MPG-Informationsarchitektur. Die EZB dient den Wissenschaftlern und Bibliothekaren der MPG als Einstiegspunkt zum elektronischen Zeitschriftenangebot.
MPG Bibliothekskataloge
Eine Übersicht über alle in der MPG betriebenen Bibliothekskataloge findet sich in MPG.ReNa. Die meisten der Systeme sind in die gemeinsame MPG-Katalogsuche eingebunden.
MPG.eBooks
Im E-Books-Index der MPG sind mehr als eine 600.000 wissenschaftliche E-Books mit Volltextzugriff nachgewiesen. Der Bestand wird kontinuierlich erweitert.
MPG.ReNa
Der MPG Resource Navigator (ReNa) listet und beschreibt alle E-Journal-Pakete, E-Book-Kollektionen und Datenbanken, die den MPG Wissenschaftlern zur Verfügung stehen.
MPG/SFX-Server
Der MPG/SFX-Server ist ein Link-Resolver. Dessen Startpunkte werden auf Referenzen in den Quelldokumenten (Trefferlisten in bibliographischen Datenbanken, Referenzlisten von wissenschaftlichen Artikeln, ...) gesetzt. Von dort ermöglicht es SFX, weiterführende Dienste auszuwählen (z.B. Weiterleitung zum elektronischen Volltext, Bestandsnachweise, Bestelloptionen, weitere Recherche-Möglichkeiten).

Erwerbung
Die Erwerbung ist ein zentrales Feld der Zusammenarbeit zwischen MPDL und Institutsbibliotheken. Um die Bedarfe der Institute zu ermitteln, zu bündeln und zu unterstützen, werden verschiedene Instrumente und Prozesse eingesetzt. Dahinter steht eine seit vielen Jahren eingespielte Praxis, die kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt wird.
Bedarfserhebungen
Zur Definition und Austarierung unseres Angebotsportfolios von Zeitschriften oder elektronischen Büchern eines Verlages gehört die Ermittlung, Aggregierung und Gewichtung der Bedarfe an den Max-Planck-Instituten. Wann immer ein Anlass vorliegt, wird eine entsprechende Bedarfserhebung vorbereitet und durchgeführt. Dazu werden aufbereitete Titellisten sowie ggf. die dazugehörigen Bestandsdaten und Nutzungszahlen auf Institutsebene zur Verfügung gestellt und jedes Max-Planck-Institut erhält die Möglichkeit, Titel des eigenen Bedarfs zu identifizieren und mit einer Wertekategorie zu versehen.
Aktuell stehen keine Bedarfserhebungen an. Sobald wieder eine Bedarfserhebung durchgeführt wird, findet sich der Einstieg zu diesem Service an dieser Stelle.Wunschliste
Ein wichtiges Instrument ist die Meldung und Bewertung von Beschaffungsvorschlägen durch die Institutsbiliotheken. Mit der Wunschliste der MPG-Bibliotheken (Login erforderlich) betreibt die MPDL ein für alle Institute einsehbares Datenbanksystem, in dem die Vorschläge, Beurteilungen und zugehörigen Entscheidungsprozesse transparent dokumentiert sind.
Die Plattform ist nur für registrierte Institutsaccounts zugänglich. Interessierte Institute ohne Login bitten wir um eine eMail an This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..E-Book Einzeltitelerwerb
Die MPG hat mit verschiedenen Anbietern Rahmenverträge zum lokalen Einzeltitelerwerb von E-Books geschlossen. Informationen zu den jeweiligen E-Book-Bestellverfahren, ein entsprechendes Bestellformular sowie weitere Dokumente (z.B. Checkliste für Vertragsabschlüsse) finden Sie auf unseren Serviceseiten (MPG intern).Normen
Über die MPDL können benötigte DIN-, ISO- und VDI-Normen erworben werden. Im Gegensatz zum E-Book-Einzeltitelerwerb werden die Kosten für diese Dokumente zentral übernommen. Nach Erwerb werden die Normen in den Zugangssystemen nachgewiesen und für MPG-weiten Zugriff bereitgestellt. Bitte benutzen Sie für die Bestellung das entsprechende Formular auf den Serviceseiten (MPG intern).DDP-Konditionen
Einige Lizenzverträge der Grundversorgung beinhalten DDP-Konditionen (deep discount price), die Einrichtungen der MPG e.V. den rabattierten Bezug von gedruckten Zeitschriften ermöglichen. Wir haben diese Sonderkonditionen als Excel-Liste für Sie zusammengestellt.National- und Allianzlizenzen
Für die nationallizenzierten bzw. deutschlandweit ohne Kosten zugänglichen Ressourcen (s. Übersicht) übernimmt die MPDL die Registrierung als zentralen Service für die gesamte MPG.
Bei den Allianzlizenzen prüft das Lizenzteam der MPDL zunächst, ob das Produkt für eine MPG-weite Lizenzierung in Frage kommt und gibt die Information anschließend an die MPG-Bibliotheken weiter. Falls kein zentraler Vertrag geplant ist, können die Institute lokal an der Allianzlizenz teilnehmen. Dazu wird im Nationallizenz-Portal ein zusätzlicher Institutsaccount erstellt ("Dummy-Account").
Die Liste der DFG-geförderten Ressourcen kann über den Funding-Filter in MPG.ReNa eingesehen werden.

Grundversorgung, Akteure
Grundversorgung
Im Jahr 1999 ist auf Beschluss der drei Sektionen der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unter dem Namen "Grundversorgung" ein Konzept und ein Etat zur MPG-weiten Lizenzierung elektronischer Ressourcen verabschiedet worden. Seither ist die Grundversorgung das zentrale Programm der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur institutsübergreifenden Lizenzierung elektronischer Ressourcen.
Für die Grundversorgung werden jene Ressourcen ausgewählt, für die die Bündelung auf zentraler Ebene vorteilhafter erscheint als eine lokale Versorgung durch einzelne Instituts-Bibliotheken. Dies gilt auch für die zentrale Teilnahme an Allianz- und Nationallizenzen. Dabei fließen verschiedene Faktoren in den Entscheidungsprozess mit ein: Breite und Dringlichkeit des Bedarfs, Geschäftsmodell und Kosten-Struktur von Angeboten, aber auch Möglichkeiten der Erschließung, Vernetzung und Archivierung.
Neben der Lizensierung ist das Informationsmanagement und die Bereitstellung von zentralen und lokalen Zuganssystemen von zentraler Bedeutung für die Informationsversorgung. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Bereich "Zugangssysteme".
Akteure
Grundversorgung und Informationsmanagement werden hauptsächlich im Bereich "Information" der MPDL organisiert.
