 ZDB - Periodicals holdings in German libraries
Journals in all languages from 1500 to today with proof of ownership from approx. 4,300 German libraries. The entire journal collection of the university library of the Ruhr-Universität is included. The library identifier "NRW <294>" stands for the central university library. The departmental libraries of the Ruhr-Universität have identifiers of the "NRW <294/..."> type. Holdings in North Rhine-Westphalian libraries are easy to find because in ZDB library identifiers are grouped by counties. Watch out for the label "NRW" left to the library identifier.
