Library services for alumni

[Translate to English:] Student mit Buch

As an alumnus you can also benefit from our library

Borrowing

The library card (TiHo card or HOBSY card) does not have to be handed in when entering alumni status. It is always valid for 2 years and can be renewed regularly. You can use it to borrow books and other media.

Access to e-books, e-journals and databases

The use of the reading room and access to electronic resources in the reading room is possible for alumni. A password for this is available at the circulation desk. This gives you access to the Internet and our full range of electronic media including e-books, e-journals, and databases.

Unfortunately, remote access from off-campus is not possible for alumni. However, we are trying to make more and more research results freely available by promoting open access, so that the proportion of articles that can only be accessed via a paid license is gradually decreasing.

And if you can't join us ...

Search online in the library catalog (www.tiho-hannover.de/kliniken-institute/bibliothek) for all books and journals available at TiHo. Or search in our discovery system VetSearch (www.tiho-hannover.de/vetsearch) simultaneously in different databases for specialized literature. You can use part of the offer directly online, such as freely accessible e-journals or electronic dissertations.

If you are interested in books or articles from our holdings, please order them by interlibrary loan to the library in your home town. For quick ordering of articles, also from outside Germany, we recommend the document delivery service subito (www.subito-doc.de).

We also show tips for research or how to choose the right database in online tutorials, which you can find on our e-learning page:  www.tiho-hannover.de/kliniken-institute/bibliothek/lernen-und-arbeiten/online-tutorials.

If you ever get stuck, you can reach us at: +49 511 953-7100.
