Serials Solutions, a business unit of US-based ProQuest LLC, has signed an agreement with the German library consortium Gemeinsamer Bibliotheks Verbund (GBV) to index the vast amount of German-language metadata catalogued by participating consortium libraries in the Summon web-scale discovery service. With more than 34 million library catalogue records, GBV's union catalogue contains valuable content from all areas of research including physics, science, humanities and mathematics.
Located in Göttingen, GBV is the library network of seven German federal states including Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenbur-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Thüringen and the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. GBV is a cataloguing and service-oriented consortium of more than 430 academic, public and research institute libraries within the above mentioned territories, as well as the Staatsbibliothek Berlin, and other public and special libraries outside of the GBV.
More than 250 academic and research libraries worldwide have adopted the Summon service, which provides instant access to the breadth of authoritative content that is the hallmark of great libraries.
