Accessing electronic resources
General Provisions
Logging into the University's network lets you access the library's electronic resources.
General information about the University's network is included in the Netzordung.
If you are working remotely, you can connect to the network from anywhere.
You can also access the resources by logging into the University's wireless network. You need a user ID issued by the ITMZ to do so.
If you log in on a library PC, you are automatically connected to the University's network; however, not every user has the same access authorisation.
