Access E-Resources

Access to Ghent University e-resources

The catalogue contains all e-journals, e-books and databases accessible to Ghent University students and researchers. Simply log in with your Ghent University account at lib.ugent.be to access Ghent University-only collections from home or on the go. This means you no longer need a VPN to consult library collections.

Registered readers who are not affiliated with Ghent University can find all the information they need about accessing e-resources in this research tip.

Lean Library: quick access through browser

The Lean Library browser extension provides easy access to Ghent University-only sources when you use tools such as Google Scholar or PubMed. You install it once in your browser. From then on, the extension detects whether you have access via Ghent University. A pop-up alerts you to the necessary information. You can read all about Lean Library via research tips.

Platforms or applications that you use within UGent but that are not part of the library collection can be accessed off-campus via VPN access (e.g. network drives).
