The specialised information service for Middle Eastern, North African and Islamic Studies has developed a central mission to provide comprehensive support for leading research in Germany in the field of Middle Eastern studies, thereby strengthening Germany's position as a centre of research.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We acquire publications that are difficult to access from the countries and predominantly in the languages of the MENA region and make this highly specialised source material permanently available.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

On the one hand, this is traditionally done via the Interlibrary loan service<\/a> of the ULB Saxony-Anhalt for printed materials and increasingly in digital form as well.\u00a0Open Access<\/a>\u00a0or as a licence offer for the\u00a0FID specialist community<\/a>. The MENALIB virtual specialised library provides central access to our holdings, offers and services, which are available to you via the MENAsearch discovery system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One of our main tasks is to make new media visible in the required philological quality (original script and transcription). This includes enriching the data with high-quality metadata from formal and subject indexing, which regularly involves creating specialised philological standard data.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In this function, the FID also acts as a point of contact for Middle Eastern libraries in the D-A-CH region and as an interface to NFDI consortia in the humanities with regard to cultural data.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
