Best practice

Looking for articles from a Hohenheim scientist

The University Bibliography includes publications (articles, books, conference contributions) from Hohenheim scientists as of 2005.

If the publication is available in the KIM Library, the call number and location are noted. If the media is electronic, you will find the link to the full text in the University Bibliography.

Books and articles from journals that are not in the KIM holdings can be requested by interlibrary loan using the Hohenheim Catalog.

Looking for a certain article (you have the complete citation)

You already have the exact details of an article, for example:

"Teige, L.D.: Cost, supply and farm structure: a pedagogical note.- In: J. Agric. Econ. Res. 45.1993, H. 1. p. 27-32, 11 ref., - ISSN 1043-3309."

In this case, first check in the Hohenheim Catalog and in the Electronic Journals Library (EZB) to see whether Hohenheim has the journal - in this case "Agricultural Economics Research" - either in printed or electronic form (see "How do I find journals?")

If Hohenheim does not have the journal, you can order the article through the Hohenheim Catalog using inter-library loan.

Searching for articles on a particular topic

To find articles and very current literature, we recommend searching in the Database Infosystem (DBIS). This gives you access to subject databases that have been licensed for the Hohenheim campus. These contain literature references to a subject area, independent of a library's holdings.

As a result of your search, you will receive the most important bibliographic information (title, author, source) as well as the abstract. Many databases offer you the possibility to check whether the media is available in the local library catalog. If something is not available in Hohenheim, there is the possibility of inter-library loan.

In full text databases (e.g. Business Source Premier) you can access documents independently of the licensed electronic journals.
