Databases and Journals included

ECONIS is the catalogue of the ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. It is completely contained in EconBiz. In ECONIS you find books and journals as well as articles from journals or compilations from the fields of economics, business studies and business practice (Collection Guidelines of the ZBW).

A distinguishing feature of the database is the high proportion of literature which is not available through the book trade, e.g. working and discussion papers, dissertations and statistics, including relevant networks from economics and business studies in SSRN.

In the online catalogue ECONIS you will find more than 5 million title records for printed and electronic economics literature from all over the world. Around 90,000 new entries are added every year.
