Over the past two years, more than 150 German research institutions have formed a coalition to encourage scientific publishers to conclude new licensing agreements for Open Access scientific content. The negotiations of the DEAL consortia are the most comprehensive Open Access action to date in Germany and possibly worldwide. In July it was announced that the negotiations between DEAL and Elsevier, the largest scientific publisher, were suspended for the second time.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
