Access to digital services

In the branch libraries of the Bamberg University Library, you can use you own computer as well as library PCs. Many of the online services of the Library, e.g. databases and magazines that are subject to licence, require a VPN connection. A select number of databases can only be accessed on library PCs. We also provide our external users with computer stations to ensure the availability of our digital services for them.

Free WIFI is available in all branch libraries for university members and for eduroam members (eduroam).

Please visit the pages of the IT-Service to find out how to set up WIFI for different operating systems. In addition, you may borrow a USB key with the respective quick guides and any files you may need in each of the branch libraries.
Please report WIFI connection faults directly to the University IT-Service using this form.

You can access many online offers of the Library, e.g. databases and journals that are subject to licenses, on your own computer, provided you have internet access and have set up a VPN connection.
