Economics and health economics
We have compiled some tools for searching and obtaining literature and information on topics in economics and subject-relevant aspects from other fields:
- Tools for reference of our holdings and for literature acquisition by the university library,
- subject-relevant bibliographic, full-text, and factual databases (podcasts and other resources that allow you to learn how to use individual databases on your own are referenced where available),
- subject-relevant electronic journals as well as
- dictionaries, encyclopedias, reference works and
- subject portals, virtual subject libraries.
Scientific search engines can be found on our page Departmental information > General / Interdisciplinary and recommended resources on the topic Scientific work on the page of the same name.
Prove library holdings - Procure literature
Online library catalog (OPAC)
Search our catalog for specific author names, titles or ISBNs to find out whether certain books you are looking for are in our library collection. To find literature on a specific topic, you can search using keywords.
If a media unit you require and which is in our stock is currently on loan, as can be seen from the copy data, you can reserve it online for loan.
You can find e-books in our catalog by adding the keyword e-book to your search terms. Our eOPAC is also suitable for subject-specific e-book searches.
Please note: You can only access the eOPAC and the full texts of licensed e-books from off campus by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can find out more about VPN on our page External access to electronic resources.
If we do not have a book in our collection that you would like to read, you are welcome to send us asuggestion for a new acquisition to New acquisition proposal.
You have become aware of an article and would like to know whether the journal and the specific issue in which the article is located is in the holdings of the university library. - For the area of print journals, it is a good idea to clarify this via our Print Journals page.
For the systematic identification of journal articles on a specific topic, the relevant databases are particularly useful.
Our Electronic Journals Library (EZB) allows you to search a large number of international electronic full-text journals covering all subject areas and to access the full texts of e-journals that are activated in the campus network and of e-journals that are generally freely accessible on the web. In the case of electronic full-text journals that are not accessible, you often at least have the option of viewing abstracts and tables of contents.
For specific searches of certain electronic journals, please use the simple search offered in the Electronic Journals Library (search slot "quick search") or the advanced search.
Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only access full-text e-journals that require a license and are activated campus-wide by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can find out more about VPN on our page External access to electronic resources.
For systematic retrieval of journal articles on a specific topic, please use the relevant databases.
Detailed information on for economics relevant electronic journals can be found further down this page.
Database Information System (DBIS)
Search databases in our Database Information System (DBIS). Via DBIS you can get very good information about the content of the individual resources. As far as databases are unlocked for you to use or are generally freely available on the web, you can access them directly via DBIS.
Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only use databases that require a license and are available campus-wide at by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can learn more about VPN on our External Access to Electronic Resources page.
A selection of the databases relevant to economics is available further down this page.
In addition to querying the holdings of our university library, you can use the metasearch of the Digital Library (DigiBib) to simultaneously search in catalogs of the region and union catalogs, among others, via a search mask.
Further resources for finding subject-relevant materials of all kinds (books, data carriers, e-books ...) in the holdings of other libraries can be found on our page Other catalogs.
Interlibrary loans via the Digital Library (DigiBib)
Books, articles ... that we do not have in our collections can usually be obtained via interlibrary loan. You can find more information about this on our page Interlibrary Loan.
Bibliographic, full text and factual databases
In the following, we have systematically compiled databases that are available campus-wide under license and selected databases that are freely accessible on the web.
In addition to the possibility of accessing the listed databases directly from this page, you will also find links to detailed database information in our database information system (DBIS) as well as to e-learning offers, if available.
Please note: From outside the campus area, you can only access our databases requiring a license by dialing into the campus network via Virtual Private Network (VPN).
