If you are a member of TU Braunschweig want to use our electronic media from your device, you have to connect to it via the TU network. This is possible from all stationary PCs and all mobile devices with Wi-Fi access to the TU network (eduroam).
When you are on the road or at home, you can do this via Virtual Private Network (VPN). For the publishers SpringerNature, DeGruyter, IEEE, Wiley and many more you have the possibility to log in via Shibboleth with your TU-ID. VPN is no longer necessary.
Virtual Private Network VPN
To access electronic media from home or on the road, you need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your device. You must be a member of TU Braunschweig. Instructions for setting up a VPN can be found here.
Please use the connection-profile Tunnel-All-Traffic (not Tunnel-TU-Traffic) in this case.
Shibboleth
To access the licensed content of the University Library from home or on the road, you have two options: Either you can use the VPN access mentioned above, for which you have to install special software, or you can use the Shibboleth service. All you need to use this service is your standard login data from the GITZ. For more information about Shibboleth and the supported publishers, please have a look at our blog post (in German).
E-Books
E-Books are accessible via TU network and VPN access. Depending on the publisher, you can download individual chapters and/or entire e-books and print them out. E-books do not have to be "borrowed". Copies (e.g. copies, downloads) are only permitted of single chapters or pages and only for your own scientific use. No passing on to third parties.
