Locating a publication
After a successful catalogue search you have found one or several titles, which you may want to look into or borrow. The following situations may apply (respectively for books, reference works etc., and for journals):
Books/reference works |

Available in digital form*). The catalogue entry includes a link which leads you directly to the digital version of the publication. All you have to do therefore is click this media link. The full text of the publication is available in digital form! Examples of documents available in full-text electronic form are dissertations from the TU/e, various dictionaries, encyclopedias and other reference works, and an increasing number of scientific reports and e-books. |

Not available in digital form. If a publication is not available in digital form - as is still the case for most books -, carefully note the library section(s), the shelf code and the information on availability which are mentioned at the location. Click the button Availability to see availability details. You will then know where to find the publication, where it is shelved and whether it is indeed available for borrowing or consulting. As we can tell from the location information in the example below, the publication in question is in the collection of the Applied Physics library (NATUURKUNDE BIBL) from which it is currently on loan, and in the collection of the Mechanical and Chemical Engineering library (WenST BIBL.), where 1 or more copies are available. The shelf code (HAB 2000 CAL) indicates on which shelf the publication is stored. Click on the Availability button for detailed information on availability of copies/volumes.

If you have found the journal title you were looking for, you can see if the catalogue entry includes a media link which leads to the full text. In the example below you see under DIGITALE BIBLIOTHEEK : TUE that the journal is available in full text as from volume 21(1995). |
