Under the name "Goportis" the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), the German National Library of Medicine (ZB MED) and the German National Library of Economics (ZBW) pursue to realize the aim of a highly integrated cooperation at the level of common products and services and internal business operations. One field of action of this co-operation is the licensing of scientific information for the service to universities and research institutes as well as for the service to coporate customers. In this area the partners conclude licensing agreements with publishers for the national and international distribution of scientific publications. Agreements are made concerning document delivery or concerning electronic journals, e-books or databases. A look at the licensing models shows that co-operation makes sense. The co-operating partners have to negotiate the same licensing models with partially the same publishers: licenses about document delivery (subito association agreements or separate agreements), pay-per-view licences for electronic journals, pay-per-use licenses for databases as well as national licences and special solutions for institutional and industrial customers. In October 2007, the partners established a Co-Operative Office at the ZBW in Hamburg. The pesentation describes the first experiences with the co-operation.
