"Die Künstlerdienste verfügen somit über einen Online-Katalog. Der Online-Katalog ist aktueller als ein gedruckter Katalog und ist nicht auflagengebunden, sondern kann von jedem aktuell eingesehen werden, der sich einen Zugang zum World Wide Web verschafft."

I'd say
The on-line catalog is more current than any printed catalog [could be] and, by its nature, not limited in circulation. Instead, it may be viewed any time by anyone with access to the world-wide web

I think what they are getting at is you don't have to be registered, have a password, be a member, pay a fee, etc. to have access to this information.
You have Internet access and it's a go.

: würde auch zu Elises Vermutung "edition" passen, der ich mich anschließe ("nicht an feste Auflagen*zahlen* gebunden).

: is basically a strange use of the word auflagengebunden, which usually means numbers of copies printed

- "auflagengebunden" doesn't seem to exist.
I've no idea whether it means "gebunden an Auflagen" or "durch Auflage begrenzt", but if you want to keep it vague while getting both ideas across - how about "no restrictions on circulation"?

: Well, it does. You can make up any compounds in German that you wouldn't find in a normal dictionary. But native speakers understand them anyway ;-)

Auflage = Edition
I'm pretty sure that "Auflage" in this case refers not to "terms and conditions" (Bedingungen und Auflagen) but "edition", as in "2. Auflage."
