The Library Am Guisanplatz BiG boasts more than 900 journal titles. Upon request, the BiG will send the tables of contents of the current issues to employees of the Federal Administration and the Swiss Armed Forces by email.
A list of the journals that can be ordered can be found here (Last updated: June 2023, subject to change. The list is only available in German).
To subscribe to the tables of contents, please write us an email at zeitschriften@gs-vbs.admin.ch. Please submit orders for specific articles to bibliothek@gs-vbs.admin.ch and we will send them to you electronically within a few days.
Please note that for copyright reasons, we are unable to digitise entire journal issues. If you would like to read a journal in print, you can borrow the desired issue by using the Alexandria research portal. This service is free of charge, all you need to do is register with the SLSP (instruction for ‘SLSP registration without SWITCH edu-ID’, only available in german). For more information, have a look at BiG’s web page on lending.
