External searches
It is not always possible to find answers to academic questions in the media that are physically available in the University Library. In some cases, it will be necessary to search further afield, in other words outside the University Library.
Internet sources, such as databases and document delivery services, are available to enable you to find answers to your questions. A charge is levied for access to certain Internet sources although access is sometimes covered by campus licences.
In addition to the keywords on the left, the following links may also be helpful:
- Databases with essays and articles (various subject areas)
- ASEZA database (search for electronic periodicals)
- Base (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine: one of the largest search engines worldwide, designed specifically for open access academic documents available on the Internet)
- Database Information System (DBIS)
- Document delivery services
- OPUS metasearch for electronic university publications
- Specialised databases: these specialised lists include some of the links given in the
- specialist information; see also Document delivery services
