Library services for alumni – Benefit from our libraries even after your time at DIT.
We offer alumni the most comprehensive service at our main library in Deggendorf.
Borrowing
Alumni can receive a new library card on request. This is free of charge for you. The period of validity for alumni is theoretically unlimited, but expires after 1,500 calendar days without use.
Access to e-books, e-journals and databases
You are welcome to use the database computer in the main library by appointment. This will give you access to the Internet and our range of electronic media such as e-books, e-journals and databases, provided they are permitted under licensing law. Remote access from off campus is not possible for alumni.
Internet access with your own notebook is available via BayernWLAN. Access to our e-media offer is not possible here.
Training courses
Would you like a refresher course on scientific work, such as database training, for your profession or citizen science? Please feel free to contact us.
Depending on our capacities, we can provide individual coaching or invite you to a training course as a guest.
And if you can’t come to us…
Search the online catalog OPAC for all books and journals available at DIT. You can use part of the offer directly online, such as Open Access freely accessible articles or Open Access e-books.
We offer numerous specialist databases for searching for articles from specialist journals. You can see which database is right for you in the subject-specific section of our homepage. Many of the databases can be used free of charge for research worldwide, and many open access articles are freely accessible.
If you are interested in books or articles from our collection, please order them via interlibrary loan to the library in your home town.
If you ever get stuck, our staff is there for you!
