    Newspapers and magazines

    The newspaper display of the kiz can no longer be used for everyday reading. We can give you access to various media:

    The F.A.Z. and the SZ are available digital!

    A whole range of daily newspapers, weekly newspapers and magazines is available via the WISO database, including e.g. Handelsblatt, magazines from the heise publishing house such as c't, iX ...

  • How do I get access from the home office?

    IP-Range / VPN

    The majority of electronic resources can be accessed via a VPN connection from the home office. An anonymous use of the contents can be guaranteed via VPN.

    Shibboleth / EZ Proxy

    We try to provide alternative access methods for all providers. Usually a login via Shibboleth or EZProxy should be possible. However, not all providers support these methods.

    In case of access problems please contact the helpdesk of the kiz.

  • How can I access the contents with my university account from the hospital network?

    Please note that you cannot establish a VPN connection from the clinic network to the campus network of the university. Use the terminal browser "Chrome Uni-Ulm" to access electronic resources.

  • What is it about the free offers of the publishers?

    Due to the current situation, many publishers are currently offering free temporary licenses (e.g. in the form of trials) as a gesture of goodwill. Existing license portfolios are being increased or opened up completely. The kiz has no influence on the duration of the offers: selectively there may be restrictions regarding the access to electronic resources which are not part of the license portfolio of the university.
