OPAC<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

With the help of the OPAC<\/abbr><\/b><\/a>, the university\u2019s digital library catalog, the entire print and digital collection of the TH<\/abbr> Nuremberg library can be searched.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Searches can be conducted both by formal criteria (such as authors or titles) and by content-related aspects (including keywords or subject terms).<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Via the tab \u201cUnion Catalog\/Interlibrary Loan\u201d<\/b>, you can also search the collections of all Bavarian libraries and directly order suitable works via interlibrary loan. Electronic journals<\/b> can be searched directly via the EZB<\/abbr><\/b><\/a>. The traffic light system immediately shows you whether the library has a subscription and thus access to the full text.<\/p>\n

Under the section \u201cLiterature Search by Faculty\u201d<\/b>, the most important databases are compiled. It\u2019s best to start your database search here.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t find anything, you can search other free and university-licensed databases in DBIS<\/abbr><\/b><\/a>. Here, too, the traffic light system shows availability. Access currently works via the university network using VPN<\/abbr>, and in the future via EZProxy.<\/p>\n
