Access E-Ressources from home

Our licensed electronic media (E-books, databases, E-journals) are only available to members of the university.
Registration in the library is not necessary if you're only accessing electronic media.

You have 3 options for access:

You are using a computer on campus or are connected to the wifi on campus.
Connecting to the university network from home using a VPN.
Using the Shibboleth signup with your university mail

There is no access to our digital media from outside of the university network.

Connecting via VPN

How do I know if the VPN has connected successfully?

When the VPN-tunnel is established, your IP-adress changes temporarily.

You can check this yourself by using sites like:

https://whatismyipaddress.com/
https://www.wieistmeineip.de/

If the VPN is working correctly your IPv4-adress should start with these numbers:

141.26.

The IPv6-adress with these:

2001:4c80:50

In some cases it might be necessary to close and reopen the browser or deleting the cache after establishing the connection.
