Access to e-media

The easiest way to use the e-media is via the Discovery-System. Log in to your university's stock in the Discovery-System directly after your search with your network access data under Für Zugriff auf E-Medien bitte hier anmelden in the header. Please note that the header may be covered by the cookie banner. If the header is not displayed, you are already logged in to the Discovery-System. You now have access to the indexed electronic media as well as to non-indexed databases via the links in the right-hand column.

Please note that for technical reasons, individual e-books that have been imported from the catalogue cannot be used even after registration. In most cases, these titles are exclusively activated for the other university and can be used at the Internet PCs in the reading room. .

The links to licensed databases in DBIS have already been provided with the appropriate EZproxy prefix. Make sure that you use the link for your university in DBIS if two links are available (under Recherche starten or Weitere lizenzierte Zugänge). Log in to the login window with your network access data.

Alternatively, you can set up a bookmarklet (= bookmark with JavaScript) in your browser. If you are on a website where a full text is offered for download with costs and you suspect that the full text might be licensed by your university, click on the bookmarklet and log in with your network access data.

You can see whether you are correctly logged in in the address bar of your browser: The actual URL is followed by uni-flensburg.idm.oclc.org or hs-flensburg.idm.oclc.org.

E.G. https://link-springer-com.hs-flensburg.idm.oclc.org/

If the desired full text is licensed, you can now download it free of charge. If the full text is still not available free of charge or an error message appears (Oops! It looks like you have attempted to view a page that has not been configured for access.), there is no licence for your university. If necessary, you can access the holdings of the other university via the internet computers in the reading room or order the printed version via interlibrary loan.

• Individual e-books in the Discovery-System, which were imported from the ZHB catalogue, may not be activated for your university. Unfortunately, these media cannot be separated automatically according to the respective stocks. In these cases, please use the internet computers in the reading room.
• Old browser cookies are a frequent cause of errors. Therefore, in case of EZProxy problems, you should first delete the cookies from your browser, close the browser, restart it and then try again.
• Sometimes there are also difficulties if the security options in the browser settings are set "too strict", e.g. if cookies are rejected as a matter of principle. In this case, you must explicitly allow cookies from EZProxy in the settings.
• Sometimes images or navigation elements of websites accessed via EZProxy are not displayed or are displayed incorrectly. This can usually be remedied by reloading the page.
• When using the bookmarklet, the message Oops! It looks like you have attempted to view a page that has not been configured for access. may appear. You will not be able to access the content on these pages. If necessary, you can access the stock of the other university at the internet computers in the reading room or order the printed version via interlibrary loan.
