A general overview of how to use the electronic journal library (EZB) can be found on the EZB help page.
Open Access note:
Many journals are now published in the form of Open Access. These journals have terms of use that allow subsequent use (e.g. passing on articles). In the EZB, this is indicated by the green traffic light symbol. In some cases, it is noted in the detailed text of the journal if there are no further rights of use - then the following terms of use must be observed.
