What does SFX mean?

SFX is a linking service that connects literature research databases to those offering full texts, tables of contents, bibliographic data, and more.

SFX provides additional literature research possibilities, such as links to other search engines, research services from other catalogs, and links to fee-based document delivery services like Subito.
For more information, please visit the SFX page. If you have any questions, please contact the SFX-team.

How can I access the literature that I found in a database?

Ulrike Riedlberger — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 05:46:58 +0000

Often, databases do not provide full texts. Therefore, look for the respective medium in our catalog afterwards or in the Electronic Journal Library (EZB).
Many databases are directly connected to the catalogue through the SFX button.
