A portal to many e-books, journals, e-textbooks and other study resources that allows affordable access to paid electronic resources for theological institutions in low income countries.
"The mission of the Global Digital Theological Library (GLDTL) is to make high quality digital content in religious studies available to academic institutions in the developing world in an economically feasible manner. The GLDTL seeks to accomplish this mission by licensing with publishers and vendors on behalf of these small institutions and creating one shared and professional managed, global library for their benefit."
The GDTL uses the same infrastructure as the Open Access Theological Library, but allows users access to even more resources: over 300,000 e-book sand 15,000,000 articles (in 2021) and a range of research aids such as textbooks. This website allows access to many resources behind a paywall, but does so at a low fee rates so that theological institutions, students and staff in low income countries can access high level theological and religious studies materials.
