Overview

The DLBT is a research infrastructure that contains metadata on translations and reception documents. Additionally you have access to several full texts. It also offers numerous functions for searching, evaluating and downloading these resources for your own use. The following instructions will help you exploit the DLBT's potential.

• The 'Search' function will guide you through the simple and complex search options available. Using screenshots and simple explanations, you will become familiar with this central DLBT function.
• The 'Export results' section shows you how to easily export your search results (metadata and full texts) for use in other projects.
• If you want to know how to integrate metadata or full texts into your research and what to bear in mind when doing so, read 'Use results in scholarly publications'. (Under construction.)
• Analysing and visualising your search results is a complex, multi-layered process. You will find the necessary instructions in the 'Analyse and visualise results section'.
• To analyse and further process full texts, you must first store them in the provided bookshelf. The steps for doing this can be found in the 'Create your own bookshelf' section.
