The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is a central unit of the Max Planck Society. It supports scientists from all Max Planck Institutes with a broad portfolio of services in the fields of information and software supply, publication services, and research data management. The MPDL’s task is to provide researchers at the Max Planck Society with optimal access to scientific information and software, to provide a sustainable infrastructure for scientific information management, and to support the MPG in its Open Access policy.

The MDPL is one of Europe’s largest purchasers of scientific information. The MPDL arranges for access to a wide range of scientific journals, eBooks, specialist databases, and extensive open access publication services. Together with the libraries at the Max Planck Institutes, it takes care of an excellent supply of scientific information and opportunities for publication.
