Information about Journal Article Databases
The article database is a licensed system. Please be aware that you can freely search in the database with ViFa, but accessing external databases themselves is dependent on your location. Only users in licensed organisations (e.g. universities, libraries) can access the databases. Nevertheless, searching within ViFa provides you with all the bibliographic information you need. Additional information such as location or availability to your home institution is only accessible in the databases themselves.
The excerpts from the Swets database Online Contents offers bibliographic information on articles in subject-relevant journals. Additionally, tables of contents for selected journals are expanded by the University of Leipzig Library, for the special collection area of Communication Studies and Media Studies / Journalism, and by the University of Frankfurt Library for the special collection area of Theatre and Film Studies.
