The local electronic article delivery service (LEA) is a free service available exclusively to members of the University of Hohenheim (employees and students). 

You can order individual articles from journals available only in printed form in KIM via the Internet. You also have the option of ordering individual chapters from books (up to 15 percent of the work) for your own academic work. Scans are delivered electronically to your email address on file in the circulation system.
If a book is on loan, it cannot be scanned and delivery is not possible.

Ordering

To use the offer, employees require a valid user card of the library of the KIM (either a library card in the
library system registered employee card (chip card) or a conventional library card on paper). For Hohenheim students, the student card is also valid as User ID.

The local electronic article service LEA will be offered when the title of the journal is shown in the library catalog.

Your open and completed orders are summarized in your request overview :

Delivery

You will be notified via e-mail as soon as the scanned essay is available to be picked up on the server. For copyright reasons, the library may not permanently save the scanned data. That is why the files are deleted two days after you have accessed them. Articles which are not accessed 10 days after they are made available will be deleted. For each request, the articles must be re-scanned. The scanned articles will be provided in pdf format.

The requested articles will be scanned in black and white or in grayscale with a resolution of 300dpi (dots per inch). The scanned article will be provided as a pdf and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Use of delivered articles

The procedure does not rely on a particular platform. The scanned articles can either be read on the screen or printed. The delivered articles are only for personal use.

Tips

Tip when printing from Acrobat Reader: Please check the field fit to page (passend verkleinern). If you don’t, the margins of the scanned pages may get cut off! If you have any questions, please contact lea@uni-hohenheim.de
