offers the possibility of accessing the campus network from remote locations. After a connection is made, you will be assigned an IP address from the university area. With this you will have access to nearly all of our licensed databanks, electronic full-texts and electronic journals.

is only possible for a majority of the licensed data banks (not for the electronic journals) with a valid library card from TIB/UB. Membership at the LUH must be entered in the records. This entry can be carried out by the lending department after the necessary verification is provided. Access privileges for this service are checked at a login page where you enter the library card number and the associated password.

Attention: Due to abusive usage of licensed databases, this kind of registration is only avaible to employees of the LUH until further notice. 

Academic staff of the Leibniz University Hannover can get remote access to the databases Beck-Online and juris from their home adress. Please fill out the form for remote access and hand it over to the circulation desk of the Specialized libraries Königsworther Platz.
