Agricultural sciences
Holdings from the agricultural sciences can be found in the Central Library and the departmental libraries.
Catalogues
In the discovery system GöDiscovery you can find books, journals, databases and a large number of articles from journals - both from the holdings of the SUB Göttingen and the departmental libraries as well as from external sources. By default, the local holdings are searched; the search area can be expanded via the settings. In the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) you will only find the local holdings.
Books: print and digital
Books
Agricultural science books in print form are located both in the Central Library and in the Historical Building. These include dissertations, commemorative publications, handbooks, textbooks and other titles. Other books can also be found at various locations on campus, for example in the faculty and departmental libraries.
E-Books
Agricultural science books such as textbooks or handbooks and commentaries published as e-books can mainly be found in the relevant subject databases licensed by us. Electronic books, especially monographs or manuals, can be searched and accessed via the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK) or GöDiscovery.
Locations
Some of the holdings are freely accessible in the reading room of the Central Library. However, a large part is located in closed stacks and can be ordered via the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The literature in the reading room is arranged systematically according to the Göttingen Online Classification (GOK).
Book not available?
If you cannot find a title, you can order the book via interlibrary loan or send us a Purchase suggestion for an e-book or a print title.
Journals
Agricultural science journals are mainly available digitally. You can find e- and print editions in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The Electronic Journals Library (EZB) provides an overview sorted by subject and uses color symbols to indicate access to the full text. Many licensed titles can also be used off campus via eduVPN.
Databases
Databases can be found in the Database Information System (DBIS), organized by subject. The licensed fee-based databases can also be found in GöDiscovery and in the Göttingen University Catalogue (GUK). The free databases can only be found in DBIS. Data resources of various types are listed, in particular subject bibliographies that list articles, as well as full-text databases that contain articles from electronic journals.
