Keywords:

Abstract
The internet is regarded to be a global and democratic mass media, but there are also many problems, which are discussed widely and continuously. For literature and the study of literature we can identify three possible categories to use the internet for their specific purposes: (1) Literature on the internet, this means fictional texts published online, e.g. in special magazines; (2) research on literature: web pages for more and better orientation, e.g. on authors and fictional texts; (3) the internet as literature – e.g. hypertext as fiction. The article investigates examples of doing and researching German literature online.Downloads
