For 2025, BIB is expanding its range of e-books via the Springer Nature Link portal. In addition to the usual packages with over 10,000 titles, access to a further 8,000 e-books in German and English will be offered.

This expansion of the offer is possible thanks to central funding from the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to the expired E-Books.NRW initiative, students and universities in NRW will continue to be supported in digital teaching.

At the moment, the e-books can only be searched via the publisher's platform. In future the title data will also be searchable via KatalogPlus.
