Print Journals Directory

You have become aware of an article and would like to know whether the journal and the specific issue in which the article is located is in the holdings of the university library. - For the area of print journals, it is a good idea to clarify this via our Print Journals page.

For the systematic identification of journal articles on a specific topic, the relevant databases are particularly useful.

Electronic Journals Library

Our Electronic Journals Library (EZB) allows you to search a large number of international electronic full-text journals covering all subject areas and to access the full texts of e-journals that are activated in the campus network and of e-journals that are generally freely accessible on the web. In the case of electronic full-text journals that are not accessible, you often at least have the option of viewing abstracts and tables of contents.

For specific searches of certain electronic journals, please use the simple search offered in the  Electronic Journals Library (search slot "quick search") or the advanced search.

Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only access full-text e-journals that require a license and are activated campus-wide by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can find out more about VPN on our page External access to electronic resources.

Interlibrary loan

Logo of the Mannheim University Library

You can use the interlibrary loan service to order almost all the specialist books and journal articles you need from other libraries if they are not available locally and cannot be purchased for our university library's collection.

Procedure and responsibility:
Ludwigshafen University Library does not offer its own interlibrary loan service. Users of our library can use the partner library UB Mannheim for this purpose (detailed information on interlibrary loans at UB Mannheim). Orders are usually placed electronically on your own. The team at Mannheim University Library provides support in case of questions or difficulties and is responsible for the further service process.

Document delivery service subito:
The document delivery service subito can be used for particularly urgent orders. The service is used independently and outside the library service at the user's own expense. As a rule, articles are delivered directly to the personal address within 72 hours (plus postal delivery time if sent by post).
