Discovery-System Primo
Find books, essays and more
The discovery system Primo is a modern library catalog and provides access to local and external resources such as books, e-books, journals - but also journal articles, book chapters or digital objects from the university library's collection.
Please note: You can only access licensed full texts from off campus 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.
If you are missing a specific medium in our collection, you are welcome to suggest a new acquisition.
You have become aware of an essay on business administration and would like to know whether the journal and the specific issue in which the article is located are 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.
Via our Electronic Journals Library (EZB) you can search a large number of international electronic full-text journals covering all subject areas. You have access to the full texts of e-journals released in the campus network and of e-journals that are generally freely accessible on the web. Otherwise, you often have access at least to abstracts and tables of contents.
Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only access full-text e-journals that are released 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.
For systematic retrieval of journal articles on a specific topic, please use the relevant databases.
Detailed information on electronic journals relevant to viticulture and related disciplines can be found further down this page.
Database Information System (DBIS)
Search databases in our Database Information System (DBIS). Via DBIS you can get very good information about the content of the individual resources. As far as databases are unlocked for you to use or are generally freely available on the web, you can access them directly via DBIS.
Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only use databases that require a license and are available campus-wide at by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can learn more about VPN on our External Access to Electronic Resources page.
A selection of databases relevant to viticulture and related disciplines is provided further down this page.
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.
- Registration: One-time registration via the registration form of the Mannheim University Library.
- Ordering: You can place your interlibrary loan order directly via the order form of the Mannheim University Library directly.
- Costs: Mannheim University Library currently charges a fee of €1.50 per interlibrary loan order.
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).
Bibliographic, full text and factual databases
In the following, we have systematically compiled campus-wide databases that are subject to license and selected databases that are freely accessible on the web:
As well as being able to access the databases listed directly from this page, you will also find links to detailed database information in our database information system (DBIS) and to e-learning courses, where available.
Please note: From off-campus, you can only use licensed databases that 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.
