The Zeitschriftendatenbank or ZDB (translated as: German Union Catalogue of Serials) is the central

Deutsche Nationalbibliothek
(DNB), the German National Library, which is responsible for the technical system support and further development.

Overview

The basic requirement for the inclusion of a title in the journal database is that it belongs to the genre of the continuous collective works like

electronic journals and microforms
.

The database records which periodicals are available in the individual participating libraries and allows searching for magazine titles. The so-called inventory data record provides information about which volumes are available in which library. In contrast, the ZDB does not list any article title.[nb 1]

Due to its range of title and inventory records, the ZDB is the backbone of

languages from 1500 up to the present day and it contains over 17 million ownership records of around 3630 German and Austrian libraries for these titles.[1][2]
