The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science (BBAW) is a 300
years old institution for research in the humanities, but as well in
the natural sciences. The academy gives home to more than 30 projects,
some of which are conducted since the 19th century. It's library
holdings cover more than 700000 books and some 100 periodica, mostly
literature from international academies or literature from the members
of the academy itself. Since some years the computer changed the
working situation of the scientists and as well the projects of the
academy as well. In January 2005 the academy started to publish every
month a new digital project. In my talk I want to give an overview of
some of the projects of the academy and discuss the problems that arise
with the resistance against computer based work within the humanities.
The electronic services of the library of the academy will be a focus I
want to concentrate on and thus come to the question of the
relationship between scientists, librarians, and the computer.
