Search the University Library Catalog
In the catalog, you can narrow down your search results by selecting “Electronic resource” as the publication type. E-books can be identified by the online access 
icon.
Search the Database Information System (DBIS)
DBIS provides an overview of our range of e-books.
Please note: You cannot search for e-books by author or title in DBIS.
To access a licensed e-book directly via a link from the catalogue, you must be connected to the university network. You can also do this externally via a virtual private network (VPN). The catalogue only lists direct publisher links that cannot be accessed externally. Whether or not external access is possible depends on the relevant licence agreement. The exact access options can be found in the Database Information System (DBIS) under the link in the “Usage” field.
If you have any questions or problems, such as error messages, please ASk a librarian.
