Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek (EZB)
The EZB is a service that provides effective use of full-text academic periodicals on the Internet. It currently encompasses more than 44,000 titles. Half of these are available free of charge and marked with a green button.
Periodicals that are not available in a full-text version free of charge are marked with a red or orange button.

Many users will thus also profit from browsing these titles listed in the EZB.
