The central tool for searching the BIS holdings is the ORBISplus catalogue, in which the printed and digital media are listed. The subject information pages provide you with subject-specific access to databases, electronic journals and other research tools as well as additional information on training courses and resources in your subject.

The representatives of the subject departments acquire new media for you and help you with specialised research. On a regular basis and by appointment, they offer you training courses and library tours with a specialised focus.

In addition to subject-related services, the BIS also offers support for digital humanities, research data management and open access publications.
