Accessing electronic resources
General information
Logging into the university network (run by the IT and Media Centre) will give you access to the University Library's electronic resources.
The moment you log on to the PCs in the University Library, you will be connected to the university network. However, not everyone has the same level of access to electronic resources (see below).
You can also access the resources by connecting to the university network via wireless LAN. To do this, you need to have a user account with the University of Rostock.
If you are not at the library, you can also connect to the university network from anywhere.
General information about the university network can be found in the network regulations ("Netzordnung").
