Reporting of new item purchases

In order to ensure a literature and information system optimally suited to the University users for research, teaching, and studying, the KIM Library needs all media holdings from the entire library system to be registered.

Please report all literature acquisitions of your institute, as well as literature, you have received as an exchange or as a gift and have been included in the holdings of the Institute Library in the KIM library for cataloguing.

In order to catalogue monographs, serial publications, and journals, the KIM Library needs the following information:

Registration of monographs and serial publications with the KIM Library

Registering new monograph purchases with the library is done easily and quickly by copying the title page, which should include details on the author/editor(s), title, place, publisher, year, and ISBN. Usually you can find this information on the front and back side of the title page. On these copies, you should add the number of pages (if necessary, Roman and Arabic numerals), details about illustrations and/or graphics, and accompanying material such as maps, discs, and CD-ROMS.

In addition, the inventory or acquisition number should be written on the copy as well as the call number, if there is one. However, not all works in an institute are catalogued. Short works, essays, and Diploma theses are not catalogued.

If you have questions, you can get in touch with your contact person at any time.

Registration of journals with the KIM Library

If you have subscribed to a new journal after consulting the library, please register the new subscription with the journal department after you have received the first issue. Please fill out the registration form either online or print out the pdf registration form and send it via internal mail to the KIM journal department.
For information, you can contact the journal department via telephone (Tel. 0711/459-22104) or via e-mail (zeitschriften@uni-hohenheim.de).

Registration of changes in journal holdings to the KIM Library

So that the holdings listed in the journal database is up to date, please use the registration form online or the printed form to inform us about any changes in your journal holdings (subscription cancelled, addition of mission volumes / issues, inventory disposed of). If you plan to dispose of journals, you are to offer them to the KIM Library first.
For information, you can contact the journal department via telephone (Tel. 0711/459-22104) or via e-mail (zeitschriften@uni-hohenheim.de).

Request for e-journal licence

You have been told by a publisher / distributor that you can subscribe to an electronic journal. You need to consult with KIM if you need to pay an additional fee for the e-journal. The registration with the publisher for accessing the full text of the e-journal is done by the KIM journal department. For this, please fill out our request for e-journal licence. As soon as you can access the full text, you will be notified via e-mail.
The subscriber number listed in the request was given to your library by the publisher / distributor. The publisher / distributor gave the subscription number to the title of the printed version. You can usually find these numbers on the invoices.
