Freiburg Virtual Medicine Library
Competence for medical information mediation
All the medical library facilities and services of the Freiburg University Library are collected under this name and made available to users: the medical unit of the university library, the medical libraries divided into institute and hospital libraries.
The key advantage consists of the direct, common and central access to medical databases, electronic journals, full texts/handbooks available on the hospital's net, link collections on the Internet, document delivery services etc.

Further information about this project, its advantages and concept, and new stimuli can be found at http://www.ub.uni-freiburg.de/virlib/med/projekt.html (in German).
