How can all the systems, interfaces, and data flows surrounding digital resources be clearly presented? Many libraries and information institutions are faced with this question. The new Systemlandkarte E-Ressourcen —one of the key results of the Systemlandschaft Working Group —now offers an answer.
It is now freely accessible online:
https://ag-systemlandschaft.de/app/visualisierung/
The interactive map shows how diverse and complex the infrastructure for managing electronic resources is. It provides orientation, facilitates understanding of the systems involved, and can help institutions better classify their own processes.
Further background information on the Systemlandschaft Working Group, its goals, its motivation, and other project results can be found here: https://ag-systemlandschaft.de/
