The National Library of Economics (German: ZBW – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Wirtschaft, "ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics", formerly: Deutsche Zentralbibliothek für Wirtschaftswissenschaften) is the world's largest research infrastructure for economic literature, online as well as offline. The ZBW is a member of the Leibniz Association and has been a foundation under public law since 2007. Several times the ZBW received the international LIBER Award for its innovative work in librarianship. The ZBW allows for access of millions of documents and research on economics, partnering with over 40 research institutions to create a connective Open Access portal and social web of research. Through its EconStor and EconBiz, researchers and students have accessed millions of datasets and thousands of articles. The ZBW also edits two journals: Wirtschaftsdienst and Intereconomics.
