Specialist databases can be divided into the following groups according to their content:
Bibliographical databases
Literature on specific topics is listed in bibliographic databases. The full texts of the articles are not included. However, you will find the link “Bestandsnachweis” next to the individual bibliographical references. You can use this to check whether KIM Hohenheim has licensed the journal directly from the publisher or in a full-text database. You will be forwarded to the full text of the journal via the holdings query.
If the journal is not in the holdings of the KIM Hohenheim, you can request the article for a fee via inter-library loan or a document delivery service.
Numerical databases
In numerical databases, for example, you can find statistics and measured values. You can often print out this data and also save some of it, for example as an Excel spreadsheet.
Fact databases
Fact databases contain primary data and information. These include, for example, “Aktienführer” stock guides and chemical substance databases.
Full text databases
Full-text databases give you access to publications such as journal articles, newspaper articles, legal texts, ordinances, statutes, court decisions, technical regulations, patent documents, etc. You can read the entire text and usually also save it on your computer and print it out.
