Description:
Meta-search engine for library catalogues from all over the world, collections of digitised material and online bookshops; includes the global library catalogue, WorldCat. For the most part it finds catalogue records only, but it also links to full-text material from the Hathi Trust, Google, the Directory of Open Access Journals and so on. Users can select which catalogues, digital resources and bookshops they wish to search, then search for books, serials or other material by key word, title, author, et cetera. KVK was developed by Karlsruhe University Library (now Karlsruher Institute for Technology Library) in collaboration with the Faculty of Computer Science. The interface is available in either English or German.
