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.

In all branch libraries there are desks with byod-workstations, where you can connect your own devices. This way, you can work comfortably with an additional, bigger screen and a bigger keyboard. 

Free WIFI is available in all branch libraries for university members and for eduroam members (eduroam). Users who are not affiliated with the university can use BayernWLAN in the branch libraries.

Instructions on setting up Wi-Fi for various operating systems can be found on the IT Services website. Please report any Wi-Fi connection issues directly to IT Services using this form.

Many of the library’s online resources (e.g. licensed databases and journals) can only be accessed from your own computer if you set up a university VPN connection in addition to your internet connection.
