ezDL provides Easy Access to Digital Libraries. It is a Java-based application that allows users to search several related libraries at once, presents a combined result view and offers a number of possibilities to work with and organize results. At the moment the program focuses on search for scientific literature, but other types of digital libraries and documents will be supported in the future.

  • support for sharing documents
  • strategical and tactical support
  • support for multi-session searches
  • local search using your desktop search engine
  • many more digital libraries (from different domains) to search
