Using the Library from Home
You can access a large number of electronic resources off campus if you are affiliated to the TU Dortmund and hold an Uni Account. For this authentication you need a VPN client or you use the institutional login (Shibboleth), which we can now offer for most publishers. Without being affiliated to the TU Dortmund, you have no access off campus.
