Databases – alphabetical order
The University Library provides access to a large number of databases including books, journals, articles, sheet music and audio files. Some databases contain full-text references.
Access to the databases
At Luleå University of Technology you get automatic access to the contents of the databases, but if you are located elsewhere you must log in with your LTU user account. You have an LTU user if you are a student or employee at Luleå University of Technology.
If you do not have an LTU user, you can only access the databases on site at the library, on your own computer or on one of the library's computers, after you have generated a code that you can get on a special Ipad at the library.
Databases without (LTU) in the list are open databases that everyone always have access to.
