Search catalogues and subject databases
Own end devices
University members can access all licensed electronic resources from the Cellarius University Library on their own devices.
Access to licensed electronic resources outside the university's stationary computers requires a VPN (Virtual Private Network). We recommend the VPN client software Cisco AnyConnect for this purpose. Installation instructions can be found in the wiki of the University Computer Centre.
In the catalogue you can search the printed and electronic books as well as printed journals of the Cellarius University Library.
The catalogue is not suitable for finding articles.
