ORBISplus - the joint search portal of the ORBIS libraries

ORBISplus start page

The ORBIS Libraries operate a joint search portal called ORBISplus, to which users can access from the respective library homepage from the library.

This has the advantage for the users that they can check immediately, in which of the scientific libraries of the ORBIS network a certain medium is available.

If the book is borrowed from one of the libraries, you can see at a glance if it is still available at another library. Of course the ORBISplus holdings are also listed in the online catalog of the Common Library Network (GBV).
