The German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), on behalf of the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), has completed a three-year nationwide licensing agreement for journals and databases from RSC Publishing. This agreement, effective January 2008, follows an earlier deal that provided access to the RSC Journals Archive.
Under the new deal, all universities and publicly funded research institutions in Germany will have access to all RSC journals and databases published from 1841 to the present day. The agreement is part of an initiative to improve access to specialised electronic resources for German universities, research institutes and academic libraries, financially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and coordinated by major research libraries like TIB.
Wholly owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry, RSC Publishing publishes a wide range of journals, magazines, databases and books. It is claimed to be one of the largest publishers of chemical science information in the world.
