Journals & Scientific Databases
The Database Information System (DBIS) is a cooperative service for the use of scientific databases. Well over 14,000 subject databases are listed, in which subject-related searches for references and electronic full texts (e-books, e-journals, reports, etc.) can be carried out. If access to a database does not work, please use a different browser. You will find instructions for accessing the respective database. DBIS
Many subject databases can also be accessed outside the university. Please use our VPN service or Shibboleth (for some databases).
The EZB is the most comprehensive collection of full-text electronic journals from all disciplines. The library has over 23,000 journals under license. You can search the EZB specifically for individual journal titles; searching for specific articles is not possible. EZB
Many journals can also be accessed outside the university. Please use our VPN service or Shibboleth (for individual journals).
The ZDB contains the printed and electronic journal holdings of German libraries. Individual articles are not indexed. ZDB

The Testothek has psychological test procedures with a focus on performance and personality diagnostics as well as clinical procedures. The tests can be searched via scinos and are displayed as reference stock, but can also be ordered via the magazine order. Borrowing can only be done at the service desk of the Westerberg Campus Library. Provision at other library locations is not possible.
Teachers, employees and enrolled students of Business Psychology at the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück can borrow the tests for a period of two weeks. There is no possibility of extension.
Upon presentation of a written authorization by Prof. Dr. Uwe Kanning, lecturers, employees and students of other disciplines at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences may also borrow test procedures from the Testothek.
The tests can be ordered online and will be available for collection on the following opening day if they are not borrowed or have already been reserved. Students are asked to show their library card and a current certificate of enrollment in the Department of Business Psychology or written permission at the time of pickup.
Proper use of the diagnostic procedures in accordance with the rules of the DGPs and the BDP is assumed. In particular, the borrowing person is responsible for the completeness and integrity of the materials upon return. The library reserves the right to inspect test materials prior to return posting.
