Who we are and what you get

dandelon.com is an independent academic library catalogue produced by a sharing community of libraries in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. We capture tables of contents of printed and electronic books and run AI based translation in 249 languages and deep indexing. So you can search more specific than with normal library subject indexing. Main subjects areas are social science, economics, natural science, life science, technologies and art, and regional literature about Western, Eastern and Northern Europe and South America. About 10.000 items are added monthly. There are links to holding libraries and the KVK for searching holdings at other libraries globally or at booksellers. Some libraries extract article references from 1500 printed periodicals, often not available online elsewhere.
