    Search tips
    The 1,250 titles can be searched in a variety of ways. 'Keyword anywhere' is a free search field. By clicking the arrow-box in that field, you get the options to search by Title, Place, Language, Country, Area, or Order nr.; or a combination of these. Selecting Language, Country, or Area automatically results in a browse list, where you can select (and combine) the categories of your interest only. Related titles are marked by hyperlinks to allow for speedy navigation through the database.

    Example: Combining 'Germany' and 'Hebrew', reveals that IDC Publishers can supply 5 Hebrew language newspapers, published within the borders of present-day Germany.

    Note:
    Language and Country have been standardized by using the Library of Congress codes (see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/countries/cou_home.html and http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/langhome.html).

    You can send any result to IDC Publishers to obtain price information.
