Abstract

The META catalog was published in 2015. As a cross-institutional research tool of the i.d.a. umbrella organisation, it offers the possibility to search simultaneously in the inventory data of more than 30 feminist libraries, archives and documentation centres. Since then, this service has been continuously expanded. The article presents important milestones in the development of the catalog and key figures on its use, thus enabling conclusions to be drawn about the significance of and public interest in this feminist research tool. A concluding outlook is devoted to further development plans for the next six years.
