Searching from home

If you are a distance student or if you for some reason prefer to work from home you still have access to most of the Library’s databases.

Searching information from home

The library subscribes to a large number of databases, especially for students and teachers/researchers at Blekinge Institute of Teachnology. For you to be able to use the databases also outside of the campus area we offer login via a proxy server.

Everybody who is registered at BTH will get an account by contacting the Computer department. BTH staff will get a web password from the Lotus Notes-support. If you are outside the BTH computer network and choose one of the databases from the Library web page “Information resources” you will automatically be transferred to a login page with the text “Welcome to the library login page”. There you login using your student/bth-account and then you are connected to the database you chose.

Most databases can be accessed this way, but with some you are required to be on campus or come to the Library and contact the librarian at the information desk who will login for you at a computer in the library. These databases are marked with an asterisk in the list “Information resources” and the text “requires password”.
