Local Electronic Article Service (LEA)
The local electronic article delivery service (LEA) is a free service and is available exclusively for members of the University of Hohenheim (employees and students).
You can order individual articles from journals available in printed form at the KIM via the Internet. You can also order individual chapters from books (up to 15 percent of the work) for your own scientific work. The scans are delivered electronically to the e-mail address you provided when you placed your order.
If a book is on loan, it cannot be scanned and delivery is not possible.
Ordering
In order to use the service, employees and students need a valid Hohenheim e-mail address (@uni-hohenheim.de or @verw.uni-hohenheim). Orders can only be placed within the campus network (on site or via VPN).
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
