Access to electronic journals (EZB)

In the Electronic Journals Library (EZB), KIM Hohenheim provides the full text of electronic journals. KIM is not responsible for technical problems with the publishers’ server.

e-journals licensed to the University of Hohenheim are marked with a yellow or yellow-red dot and only available to computers in the Hohenheim campus network (IP numbers starting with 144.41).

University of Hohenheim members can access almost all e-journals even from outside the campus network. Those who are not members of the University of Hohenheim can only research in the e-journals on the PCs within the KIM library.

If you wish to access these e-journals when off campus, you have two possibilities:

1. Internet login via the  VPN service
2. ILogin via any Internet provider. Once you have accessed an e-journal in the EZB, go to login via your institution/institutional login and select “Universität Hohenheim”. Then enter the account number and password of your library card (Shibboleth Identity Provider Login). This authentication procedure only accepts library users who are members of the Universität Hohenheim. Shibboleth only provides access to part of the catalogue, as not all publishers support this type of authentication.

If you experience access issues, please check the following:

• Determine if your Internet browser is using a proxy server, and if so, temporarily deactivate it.
• Sometimes you may need to accept cookies to obtain access to full texts.
• Please check if special restrictions apply to the publisher or journal (such as password access or access only to particular years).
