We thank all users and supporters of swissbib.

Where can I search now?

For the holdings of the majority of Swiss university libraries, use swisscovery for your search.


Holdings of other institutions can be searched in the respective library catalogue.

Can I still obtain swissbib data?

A concordance between the swissbib identifiers and the identifiers from the source systems is available.


For a dump of the swissbib data you can contact swissbib-ub@unibas.ch

Where does swissbib live on?

The knowledge built up over the years in the swissbib project will find its way into new data management projects as a part of the division Digitale Dienste of the University Library Basel.


For instance in Memobase, the portal to Switzerland's audiovisual cultural heritage, or in swisscollections, the gateway to historical and modern collections in Swiss libraries and archives.
