The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) has reached a significant milestone with the continuous expansion of its eBook collection for the scientists of the Max Planck Society (MPG). Launched in 2008 with around 2,200 records, the catalog accessible via https://ebooks.mpdl.mpg.de/ now comprises more than one million digital titles.
As early as 2007, an interdisciplinary working group at the MPG initiated measures for the strategic integration of eBooks into the scientific information provision. With the founding of the MPDL, central acquisition concepts were developed and framework agreements were made with renowned publishers. Today, numerous eBooks from Cambridge University Press, De Gruyter, Duncker & Humblot, Nomos, Oxford University Press, Springer, Wiley-Blackwell and other publishers are accessible to all MPG institutions.
Open Access titles are also included in the catalog: Both the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) and the Online Library of Open Access Books (OAPEN) can be searched via MPG.eBooks.
With the current stock of one million titles, researchers from all disciplines represented in the MPG can access a wide range of digitally available resources.
