Access Requirements
In order to use the Library's licensed electronic resources, a campus network IP address is required. You can connect to the network via landline or 
Wi-Fi (off campus via VPN).

EZB, DBIS, ReDI, or directly via the service provider's website (publishing house, scientific society, etc.). If you encounter the terms Athens or DFN/AAI in a login context, they also refer to a Shibboleth login functionality.
How to login via Shibboleth:
- Select the correct location (Ulm) and institution (University of Ulm)
- The kiz login screen will appear
- Enter your kiz account e-mail address and password
Login is only for users with a kiz account.Here you will find a list which contains all partners.

The aim is to improve nationwide access to scientific electronic resources, such as databases, electronic journals, and e-books covering all academic fields. The individual products are listed in the respective library information system (DBIS, EZB, and local library catalogs) or can be found at the DFG's website: Nationallizenzen.
