"Dear Colleagues,
In 2010, the German National Middle East and North Africa Collection at the University and State Library (ULB) in Halle has added an open access electronic version of vols. 1 (1847) to 155 (2005) of the Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenlaendischen Gesellschaft (ZDMG) to the fulltext repository MENAdoc (http://menadoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de/doc/home?lang=en) which is a module of the MENALIB (http://www.menalib.de) portal. Following an agreement with the Deutsche Morgenlaendische Gesellschaft and the Harrassowitz Verlag, further volumes of ZDMG will published in MENAdoc with a delay of 5 years in the future. Today, volume 156 (2006) has been made accessible to interested users - cf. http://menadoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de/dmg/periodical/structure/883662.
