The ongoing #COVID19 situation forces us all to rethink and to find new ways of working and doing research. No excavations can take place, no research is possible at archaeological sites or on objects; our physical infrastructures like libraries and archives are closed.

Thanks to iDAI.world, the portal for digital archaeological knowledge which went online in 2019, the DAI is able to respond to this situation by making a large part of its resources freely accessible online along with important tools and tutorials. At the same time new formats and approaches are being developed, and information about them will be posted here.

For users of our currently closed infrastructures, we will present alternatives like the elibrary service list and show which electronic media are already open access.
