For platforms for which the library provides campus licences, a message appears asking users to authenticate themselves via EZProxy (login with the RZ ID) in order to be able to use the licensed content free of charge outside the campus network.

If Lean Library detects during your literature search that the text you are looking for is available via THA campus licences, a link to it is displayed in a pop-up window. If the content is not available via the library, an open access version can be displayed.

For articles or e-books that are neither available free of charge via a campus licence nor Open Access, the possibility of interlibrary loan is offered. Printed books that are not in the library collection can also be ordered free of charge via interlibrary loan.

If you select any term in the browser, you can search for this term directly in the library's InfoGuide or in Gateway Bayern in other Bavarian libraries by right-clicking.

Try it out with ISBNs, author names, book titles or specialised terms!

If there are access problems with a licenced platform due to maintenance work or technical problems, the library can inform you promptly via the plugin and communicate solutions if necessary.

Lean Library automatically adds the library of the TH Augsburg to the ‘Library links’ in the Google Scholar settings. This provides you with a link to the full text (‘Fulltext Access via THA’) to the right of the search results if a campus licence is available.
