be accessed in the reading rooms of the German National
Library. Approximately 36,500 issues of German e-Papers can be
read at the designated work stations in Leipzig and Frankfurt
am Main, the locat</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">ions of
the German National Library. And the numbers are growing: the
Library collects the daily editions of roughly 300 e-Papers.
From Monday to Saturday approximately 1,800 new editions are
received by the Library; these are supplemented by the weekly
e</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">d</font><font

size="2">Newspaper publishers are increasingly producing not
only printed editions but also digital versions of the same
content featuring the same layout - so-called e-Papers - for
their subscribers to access via the Internet. The c</font><font
face="Verdana" size="2">ollection of e-Papers has
significantly improved the range which can be accessed by
users in Leipzig and Frankfurt am Main: they can now make
searches of individual editions of e-papers or access them
directly at the click of a mouse from the catalogue. T</font><font
face="Verdana" size="2">h</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">e
digital editions are available for use in the reading rooms
just one week after publication. This is a significant
improvement on the previous provision of newspapers on
microfilm which required three to four months processing time.
It is not possible t</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">o</font><font

for copyright reasons. Nor is it possible for users to save an
e-Paper, or parts of it, in digital form and take it home -
also for copyright reasons.</font></span><span lang="de"></span><span

automatic process in co</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">njunction
with a service provider, iSquare GmbH, in Berlin in order to
cope with the large amounts of data. This is used to harvest
the e-Papers from the publishers' servers and to convert them
into a standardised format. The format PDF/A-1b has been sele</font><font
face="Verdana" size="2">c</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">ted
for this purpose in order to create optimum conditions for
long-term preservation. The German National Library then
ingests the data into its systems, stores the data on its
archive server and records it automatically in its catalogue
so that it is th</font><font face="Verdana" size="2">e</font><font
