FBIS - Freie Berufe Information System is intended to serve as a central source of information once in the FFB and to provide the interested public with easily understandable up-to-date information in the form of an expert system on the situation, structure, development and significance of the liberal professions (self-employed/service sector) in the economy and society. From statistics for the liberal professions, to addresses of associations, chambers and organizations of the liberal professions, to the FFB literature database under LIDOS, which now comprises more than 11,500 titles, microdata and processed statistics, excerpts from current political discussions and funding programs, FBIS bundles many things for the first time in a user-friendly way for the liberal professions. For capacity reasons, only the core, the FFB literature and keyword database under LIDOS, was further expanded in the period under review.
