Remote Access to E-Resources
How do I access E-Resources from off-campus?
To access our library-licensed resources from off-campus it is necessary to begin from our Library Homepage and use the given access links to the respective resource. If you begin at a search engine like Google, you will not be prompted to log in, so your access as MFO user will not be recognized.
If you are outside the MFO network, the authentication form is automatically displayed after selecting the access link.
Where do I find my MFO library login details?
Your library password information has been sent to you by email about 2 weeks before the start of your stay.
Who is entitled?
Remote or off-campus access to library-licensed databases, e-journals or e-books is provided for members of the MFO only (staff and board members, and authorized participants of the Oberwolfach Research Programs).
Remote access to licensed content, if permitted and activated by the publishers/providers, is limited to the duration of participation in one of the Oberwolfach Research Programs plus one week prior to the start date and two weeks after the end of a workshop or long-term stay.
