This video will show you how to access licensed
electronic resources when off campus.
Due to license restrictions, only students
and staff members of the University of Göttingen
are entitled to this access.
Always start your search for electronic resources
on the homepage of the Göttingen State and University Library.
In this case, we choose the search in the
database system DBIS, which contains
over 12000 scholarly databases.
In our example, we are looking for “MLA
International Bibliography”.
To find a particular database, type in one
or more title keywords in the “quick-search” box.
In our case, we enter „mla“.
After selecting your database from the list
of results, click on the link next to
„Start research“ in the description of the database
content.
In a few seconds, a login window will appear.
At this point, you must log in as a member
or a student of the university.
Provide your user number, which you find on
the back side of your student (or university) ID,
or your library card.
Here you should type in your library password.
Your MLA homepage will have German-language
interface by default, but you can easily switch to English.
Click on “My research and Language selection”
icon in the top right corner and choose English.
Now you can start your research in the MLA
database.
Re-authentication is not required when requesting
further electronic resources.
If you take a long break, however, you will
be asked to log in again.
Should you have questions or require further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
