Resources: consulting e-sources as a library visitor

Via lib.ugent.be, you can search directly in millions of scientific e-sources, mainly articles and (chapters of) e-books.

Students and staff affiliated with Ugent automatically have access to all e-sources for which a license has been obtained.

Library visitors with a library card can log in to the library catalog but do not have access to Ugent-only resources due to copyright restrictions imposed by publishers.

Tips for library visitors

  1. If you do not want to see e-resources in your search results, you can search ‘In the library’ only. You can make that selection left of the search bar.
  2. If you only want to only see open access e-resources in your search results, you can search within ‘Everything’ and then filter by ‘open access’.
