Find information about our ebook resources on our homepage. The platforms of our eBook providers give you direct access to full-text searches. The platforms are also listed in the DBIS.
All of the eBooks in our collection are listed in the Library’s catalogue. You can also use the advanced search to search specifically for online resources.
Important note: If you open these platforms and perform searches, you won’t just find the book titles like in the Library catalogue, but also book chapters (often also journal articles) - AND you search the entire CONTENT of the books! It is therefore worth searching for literature here too.
Yes, this is possible sometimes, check the ordering possibilities above the title.
If you can't order the eBook for ILL, search the union catalogue GVK to find out whether the book is also available in printed form (we recommend a search according to author and a distinct keyword in the title). Then order the interlibrary loan from these results.
Please note: Perhaps there is another, older edition that is part of the Library’s collections.
Our Library catalogue grants access to lots of eJournals. You can only find them using the journal’s title. Literature searches in GVK-PLUS and other databases give access to individual journal articles that are increasingly accessible as full texts, if allowed by the respective licence.
We recommend you search the Electronic Journal Library (EZB) for the corresponding title of the journal containing the article. This works well with the title, but often better with the journal’s ISSN. This can be found for example in the catalogue (GVK-PLUS) as part of the journal’s title.
All of the details concerning the licensing of the full text can be found in the EZB, please make sure you read carefully and pay attention to the traffic lights system (see figure)!
TIP: If the traffic lights are red or the desired period is not available on our licence (yellow), select the title for the printed version in GVK and order the desired article via interlibrary loan.
Please note: Since March 2017, articles from eJournals (that we have no licence for) can be ordered via interlibrary loan from a selection of GBV pilot libraries. The button ‘order a copy’ will be displayed if at least one of the pilot libraries has rights of use for the journal. If you have any questions contact the Service Desk.
