KVK - Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog

About KVK KVK News (in German)    

The Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog KVK is a meta search interface which allows you to access library and book trade catalogs online via Internet. KVK starts a simultaneous search in the catalogs and gives you a standardized hit list. As the Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog does not have a own database it depends on the availability of the target systems.

If you click through from the hit list you are linked to the target system and leave the Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog. Since 2004, the KVK catalogue has moved to Unicode UTF-8 display which supports better character display.

For more informations look at the German page "KVK Help & Informations" or the KVK articles of Uwe Dierolf und Dr. Michael Mönnich. For News about KVK go to the News section of KIT Library "KVK & überregionale Dienste".
