Swisscovery

The Swiss Library Service Platform SLSP connects almost 500 Swiss libraries via the national library system "swisscovery".

"swisscovery" stands for innovative digital development and makes the constantly and rapidly growing stock of scientific information easily accessible and easy to find for all users of participating libraries. Thanks to "swisscovery", there is now a national, overarching platform that lists a total of more than 40 million books, serials, journals and non-book materials, as well as more than three billion electronic articles. SLSP also offers other products and services, including a courier service.
