What's in Heidelberg E-Journals?
Heidelberg E-Journals is a collection of academic full text e-journals. Our e-journals are mostly online versions of current print subscriptions owned by any of the libraries on the Heidelberg Campus. Many titles are purchased through library consortia. E-journal administration for the Heidelberg Campus is centralized at the University Library. The University Library and the Faculty/Department/Hospital Libraries cooperate to share the costs and to secure campus-wide access to Heidelberg E-Journals.

Access to full texts
You can access full texts immediately via Elektronische Zeitschriftenbiblitohek Heidelberg or by clicking on the relevant link within the HEIDI record. Access is in most cases possible both on campus and from off-campus workstations.
Please note: Terms and conditions of publishers stipulate that off-campus access is reserved to authorized users students and staff of Heidelberg University and the University Hospitals.
Access control is carried out automatically via the IP number of your workstation or by personal authentication (user number/Uni-ID and password for authorized members of Heidelberg University). To get a library card with your user number please contact the colleagues at the lending departments of the University Library.
With a small minority of journals, access is controlled via a login and password distributed by the publisher (User-ID, Username). In these cases your browser will be automatically directed to a readme which gives you the necessary information. Please make a note of the User-ID and fill in the query form of the publisher accordingly. Please note: We do not have any influence on the query forms of publishers, which come in various formats. If you experience access problems please turn to our staff for help.
Display of full text
Most full texts come in html format and can be displayed immediately on the screen of your workstation. For pdf and postscript files you will need to install a special viewer software.
