POLLUX makes your literature and information procurement faster and more efficient regardless of location

We have enormously expanded POLLUX in the segment of book publications, integrating the contents of neighbouring disciplines (e.g. economics, public law, contemporary history, sociology etc.). In this way we take into account the inter- or transdisciplinary working methods of the political science community. As a basis for the extension, we have filtered all relevant titles from many metadata sources. The extension is now being carried out step by step for journal publications, contributions to collective works and Open Access publications. Our aim is to provide you with preferably all the literature you need for your research.

In POLLUX you will no longer find only titles that you can either access directly electronically or that can be ordered via the delivery service Subito. Titles that are available in Germany and that you can order via the interlibrary loan service of your home library are now also displayed. If interlibrary loan is not available, you can contact the owning library directly.

Corona note: Please note that due to the Corona pandemic many libraries have been closed and the interlibrary loan service is therefore suspended at some libraries.

Due to the current recommendations on the corona pandemic, the entire POLLUX team has been sent to home office. We can still be reached by email (kontakt@pollux-fid.de) and telephone (0421/218 59590) and our services can also be used without any restrictions - with one exception: until we can return to our office, we have to intermit our current publication service for printed books. We ask for your understanding.

We are very pleased to welcome the following new members to our Scientific Advisory Board:

The journal "Totalitarismus und Demokratieforschung" from HAIT is now published with financial support from POLLUX by Vandenhoek and Ruprecht Open Access! To ensure free access for all readers in the long term, it is important that existing subscriptions are continued ("subscribe to open" model)

The licenses for e-book packages of the following publishers will expire soon and cannot be renewed due to lack of financial resources:

Babara Budrich, Berghahn Books, Campus, De Gruyter, Duncker & Humblot, Metropolis, Nomos, Pluto Press, SAGE, Verso Books, World Scientific, Zed Books

The e-books of these publishers are nevertheless still included in POLLUX. Occasionally delays may occur due to embargos.
