  Click on the "Links" button to access the desired full texts.

All available information is displayed under the "Details" button.

At the end of the hit list there is the button “Ask a librarian”. Call up the page and enter your question and your contact details. Your search will be transferred to the form.

If you have a question about a specific hit, please copy the permalink into an e-mail or the inquiry form.

Select the desired title from your hit list / mind list / your favourites and click on “E-Mail”. Your list will be mailed to the first given address in your library account in the form of a link. If you want a physical copy of your list, again elect the desired title from your hit list / mind list / your favourites but click on print and select “save as pdf” as your printer.

Look in the left-hand column under "Refine your search" to see if there are any useful ways for you to restrict the list of hits. Perhaps you are looking for publications in a specific language or in a specific publication period (e.g. new publications).

Please also note the "advanced search".

There can be many reasons for this. Maybe it was a spelling mistake. Truncation could also help, e.g. chemi* for chemistry, chemical etc. Only use the most important words for your search. This is because all terms are linked with AND by default, so they really must all be present in the results.

Please note the Search tips at the bottom of the LAUBERT page.

Take a look at the tabs on the right under the search slot: Library catalogue, Online articles, Interlibrary loan.

In the library catalogue, for example, you will not find any journal articles, but only the titles of the journals. If you are not sure, then try "Online articles".

Of course, we don’t own all the media that are available worldwide. However, it is often possible to order books or articles that we do not have from other libraries (= interlibrary loan). So also search in the "Interlibrary loan" tab.

We often link to media for which our library has acquired a licence for the BTU campus network. Access only works if you are in this network. This is the case in the WLAN or on the computers in our library.

Remote access is also possible for students and employees of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. Information on this can be found on our website "Access and disclaimer for electronic media".

It is not included in LAUBERT. The old catalogue must be used for this.

However, it is possible to display all other titles that are also labelled with the same notation by clicking on the corresponding notation in the detailed display of a hit that has already been found in another way. It is also possible to open the corresponding part of the "tree" by clicking on the + under the notation and to call up the titles for these notations in the same way. This applies both to the notations of the BTU classification and to those of the Regensburg Union Classification (RVK).
