Max Planck Digital Library

The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is a central IT service unit of the Max Planck Society. The purpose of the MPDL is it to support scientists from all 86 Max Planck Institutes with various research-oriented services. Therefore, the MPDL is providing scientists within the Max Planck Society with access to scientific information, to provide a sustainable infrastructure for scientific information management. Also, the MPDL is supporting the MPG in its Open Access policy.
MDPL and its previous organizations have been among the largest recipients of scientific information in Europe. It allows access to a broad spectrum of e-books, scientific journals, open access publication services and specialist databases. Also the MPDL supports the libraries of all Max Planck institutes.
Hence, the MPDL is not a library in the conventional sense, but rather a service infrastructure with the purpose to contribute to the competitiveness of the Max Planck Society in international science.
