Seit langem ist die Nachweissituation für digitalisierte Drucke in Deutschland ungenügend. Viele einschlägige Projekte oder Titel lassen sich entweder nicht oder nur sehr schwer auffinden. Um diesem immer wieder beklagten Mangel abzuhelfen, bauen die AG Sammlung Deutscher Drucke (SDD), die Verbundzentrale des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes (VZG) und das Hochschulbibliothekszentrum (hbz), gefördert von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), seit dem 1.4.2005 ein Zentrales Verzeichnis Digitalisierter Drucke (zvdd) auf, um einen zentralen Nachweis und Zugang zu digitalisierten Bibliotheksmaterialien bereitzustellen.
One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty, but achievable, goal. To build it, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a brand new database infrastructure for handling huge amounts of dynamic information, a wiki interface, multi-language support, and people who are willing to contribute their time, effort, and book data. To date, we have gathered about 30 million records (20 million are available through the site now), and more are on the way. We have built the database infrastructure and the wiki interface, and you can search millions of book records, narrow results by facet, and search across the full text of 1 million scanned books.

The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library, with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format. Founded in 1996 and located in the Presidio of San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections.
