Electronic Full-Text
The digital landscape for primary texts is not straightforward and simple. If you are trying to see whether a particular text has been digitized, a search on the Internet will often (not always) yield full-text results, but finding thematic lists of digital content, or finding recently digitized materials at smaller centers is harder to find. Below is a selection of major portals for digital content in German Studies; the listing does not include individual authors on the Internet or an CD-Rom.
