Searching for resources

The knowledge portal Primo [2] is the central search tool for literature. Here you will find literature from the holdings of all TU libraries and the University of the Arts (Udk). In addition, it contains references (sometimes full texts) of over 100 million articles, e-books and papers provided by various academic publishers.

Literature for current courses of Faculty VII is available in the semester apparatus in the reading room “Lesesaal Wirtschaft” of the DBWM. These books cannot be borrowed during the current semester. In Primo you can search for the books in the pull-down menu 'Semesterapparate' (just enter lecturer name and/or seminar title).

The textbook collection for the Department of Economics/Wirtschaftswissenschaften can be found in the central library on Fasanenstraße. This collection (Lehrbuchsammlung) offers multiple, borrowable copies of textbooks. In Primo you can search for availability in advance. The list of results can be limited by using the filter 'TU Libraries / Locations / TU Textbook Collections'. More Information on textbook collections [3].

Our classification system, in which publications are assigned to specific subject areas, is useful for searching by topic [4]. We also offer an overview of our special locations [5] such as our stack room.

In addition to Primo, we recommend searching in literature databases [6] for a systematic search. If you need data, various factual databases [7] are also available.

We have compiled information on access to print and e-journals [8] as well as on researching specific types of publications (research tips [9]).

You can also access many of the licensed online media from home. [10]
