Lit­er­at­ure Re­search

Off-cam­pus ac­cess

Lib­rary cata­logue

Contains the books and e-books within the library's collection. Additionally, HNU members can order media via inter-library loan service.

Tip: When you are just starting your research and don't know much about the topic, this is your place to start. When you have found some introductory books, you can move on and search for more specific literature within the databases. 

Data­bases

Contents: mostly journal articles and statistics. The items without full text can be ordered via inter-library loan service in the library catalogue.
Tip: In order to use database contents properly, you should already have gathered the basic information on your topic in books. These are listed in the library catalogue.
