Did you know?
The NEBIS catalogue does not only hold records for all printed books but also for books that have been licensed in an electronic version. The tab «Online Resource» of a book record in NEBIS tells you if an electronic version of the book is available and – usually – provides a link to the e-book.

Alternatively, you can find e-books on the platforms of e-book providers. We have compiled a list of links to all our e-book providers on our website (Resources > Books > E-Books).

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter access problems or have any other questions about using our electronic resources. We would be pleased to provide you with advice and assistance.
