Discovery-System Primo
Find books, essays and more

Logo ExLibris Primo

The Primo discovery system is a modern library catalog that provides access to local and external resources such as books, e-books, and journals—as well as journal articles, book chapters, and digital objects from the university library’s collection.

Please note: When off campus, you can only access licensed full-text content by connecting to the campus network via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). For more information about VPNs, please visit our page on External Access to Electronic Resources.

If you cannot find a specific item in our collection, please feel free to submit a request for a new acquisition.

Directory of Print Magazines

Logo Directory of continuously subscribed print magazines

You’ve come across an article and would like to know whether the journal and the specific issue in which the article appears are available in our library’s collection. - For print journals, you can easily check this on our Print Journals page.

To systematically search for journal articles on a specific topic, the relevant databases are particularly useful.

Electronic Journal Library (EZB)

Electronic periodical library

Through our Electronic Journal Library (EZB), you can search a wide range of international full-text electronic journals across all disciplines and access the full texts of e-journals that are available on the campus network and those that are generally freely accessible on the web. If full-text electronic journals are not accessible, you will often at least be able to view abstracts and tables of contents.

To search specifically for certain electronic journals, please use the simple search (the “Quick Search” field) or the advanced search available in the Electronic Journal Library.

Please note: When accessing the campus network from outside the campus grounds, you can only access the full text of licensed e-journals that are available campus-wide by connecting to the campus network via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can find more information about VPNs on our page External Access to Electronic Resources.

To systematically search for journal articles on a specific topic, please use the relevant databases.

Further down on this page, we’d like to introduce you to the selection of electronic journals relevant to social work and nursing.

Database Information System (DBIS)

Search databases in our Database Information System (DBIS). DBIS is an excellent resource for learning about the content of individual databases. If databases have been made available to you or are generally freely accessible on the web, you can access them directly through DBIS.

Please note: If you are off campus, you can only access licensed databases that are available campus-wide by connecting to the campus network via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). For more information on VPNs, visit our page on External Access to Electronic Resources.

Detailed information on databases relevant to social work and nursing is provided further down on this page.

Interlibrary Loan

Logo of the Mannheim University Library

Through the interlibrary loan service, you can request nearly all the reference books and journal articles you need from other libraries if they are not available locally and cannot be acquired for our university library’s collection.

Procedure and Contact:
The Ludwigshafen University Library does not offer its own interlibrary loan service. Users of our library can use the partner library, the University Library of Mannheim, for this purpose (detailed information on interlibrary loans at the University Library of Mannheim). Requests are generally submitted electronically by the user. The UB Mannheim team provides support for questions or difficulties and is responsible for the rest of the service process.

Subito Document Delivery Service:
For particularly urgent requests, the Subito document delivery service can be used. This service is used independently and outside the library’s services, at the user’s own expense. Articles are usually delivered directly to the user’s personal address within 72 hours (plus postal delivery time if sent by mail).
