Access to digital publications

Utrecht University staff and students have access to digital material for which the library has a license, such as digital journals, e-books and search engines.

Get access to digital material in various ways:
 

  • With the Lean Library browser extension. If the university library provides access to a publication you have found, Lean Library will lead you there.
     
  • Directly via WorldCat. Digital material can be accessed directly from the search result, for example online journals, journal articles and e-books.
     
  • Via the list of digital journals. It gives you access to the digital journals to which the library has a subscription.
     
  • Via the search engines overview. It gives you access to databases, resource collections, and other digital materials licensed by the university library.
     
  • Via the UBUlink in various search systems. It gives you information about the availability of digital publications via the university library. Next you can often access the digital publication itself.

When you are on campus and connected to the Wi-Fi network 'Utrecht University' you will automatically get access. If you are connected to another network, you will be prompted to log in with your Solis-id.

Open access publications can always be accessed, even without using your Solis-id.
