Access to E-Resources

 

Paid e-resources are made available through contracts with providers (publishers, etc.) that specify the terms of access.
Providers generally distinguish between university affiliates (students, staff, faculty) and external library users (students from other universities, members of the public, alumni,
etc.) who are not affiliated with either of the two universities.

Access to our digital resources (databases, e-books, and full-text journals) therefore depends on the location and status of the library user. 

All library users have access to digital resources on the library’s public computers (research terminals). No login is required!

When working inside the library with your own laptop, notebook, or smartphone, please connect via the “Eduroam Wi-Fi.”
You will then have access to the e-resources licensed by your university (PHW or RWU).
You can find information on which university the e-resource (e-book, e-journal, database) is licensed for in the copy details for a title in our library catalog.
Unfortunately, non-university affiliates do not have access to the e-resources here.
