Be My Source

Über diese App

Source helps you access knowledge beyond the internet. Connect with people who have real access to libraries, archives, books and offline research materials worldwide.
Many academic sources, historical records and specialist publications still exist only in physical collections. Source connects seekers with individuals who can verify references, check citations and assist with research using materials that are not always digitally available.
