Databases
Databases contain a mostly thematically oriented selection of journals, e-books, standards, company information, statistics and many other types of information. To get an overview of the university library's licensed databases, you can find an overview in the database information system (DBIS) here.
You can sort the databases in DBIS both thematically by subject area and alphabetically.
All databases (including databases that are available for free) can be researched over DBIS.
Access from home
Many database providers guarantee access to their databases via IP or Shibboleth so that you can also access the university library's databases from home.
The respective access method is listed in DBIS. Access is possible via VPN (OpenVPN at HTW Berlin) or institutional login (Shibboleth without VPN).
The IT center will provide you with a VPN client that you can install on your computer.
Some databases also offer a connection without VPN via institutional login.
