E-Resources: Change of authentication for CAS SciFinder-n database

On 1 April, the authentication mechanism for the CAS SciFinder-n database was changed to Shibboleth to ensure faster access. The first time you log in via the new link, the database still requires an intermediate step in which you must enter your data to correctly link the existing user account. Afterwards, the additional login step will no longer be necessary. Please also remember to update the link if you have bookmarked the database in your browser.

OFFER: Library tours on request

New here? We offer students and other interested parties guided tours of the library for groups of three or more. Here you will get an overview of the library's services and facilities. Our guide will show you how to find and borrow printed and electronic media and how to register to use the library.

If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment, please contact us by e-mail: informationsdienste@hochschule-rhein-waal.de.

Use of screen readers

The library now offers screen readers for people with visual impairments at both locations. The ‘Merlin Elite Pro’ screen readers have a magnification and read-aloud function for printed media and electronic content. 

If you are interested in using it, please email bibliothek@hochschule-rhein-waal.de to make an appointment. A mobile table with a screen reader, a laptop and headphones will then be made available to you in a quiet room. If you would like to use books from the library, we will also be happy to provide these on request. If you are using the devices for the first time, we will be happy to give you a brief introduction.
