EZB (Electronic Journals Library)

The electronic journal library enables research and access to scientific full-text journals on the Internet.

All library users

The University Library is responsible for the maintenance and support of the EZB.

The EZB enables searches for e-journals via a simple or advanced search, but also via lists by subject, alphabet, category (e.g.: Open Access, Indexed in DOAJ etc.) and new titles.
Access to the full texts of e-journals is recorded in the EZB. The traffic light system indicates the accessibility of the content:

• Green - freely accessible
• Yellow - license for the University of Kassel available
• Red - no license available for the University of Kassel

Each journal detail page contains information such as the license period of the respective e-journal, full-text access, but also general information about the journal.
