Print books / e-books in the university library

The monograph holdings (print books and e-books) of the University Library can be found in the OPAC.

The OPAC is the Witten/Herdecke University Library's online catalogue. It allows you to search for print books and e-books, place reservations on borrowed media, and manage your user account.

For example, use the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) to search for open-access books.
DOAB is a search service that indexes and makes accessible peer-reviewed scientific open-access books. All DOAB services are free of charge, and all data is freely available.

Magazines | Newspapers

The Witten/Herdecke University Library offers access to electronic journals (e-journals) via the Electronic Journals Library (EZB). For licensing reasons, access to the full texts of the journals is only available to Witten/Herdecke University students and employees.

Semester apparatus for students - compilation of literature relevant to the course

  • Course reserves are a compilation of literature relevant to the course. The lecturers can set them up for the participants; a semester collection is available on a separate shelf.
  • As a rule, course reserves exist for the duration of a semester and are not available for loan.
  • In the OPAC, the books from the semester reserve collections are displayed with the status ‘Semesterapparat’.
  • All books in semester reserves are not available for loan but can be read, copied, or scanned within the campus library.
  • The shelf with the term books is located in the entrance area of the library, to the left of the information desk.
  • Each term apparatus is assigned a number that helps you find it on the shelf.
  • Books in term reserves are identified by the red dots on the spine, which show the number of term reserves.

Webop

Access is only possible for selected groups of people at the UW/H!

Webop offers an online surgical operating theatre course. It supports learning in the surgical field. Video sequences show the individual surgical steps with text and image material. The surgical procedure is thus broken down into its most essential steps and presented in a didactic manner. Both the principle of the operation and important details are conveyed in video sequences, text and illustrations.

This allows you to prepare for and follow up on operations you are involved in during your clinical studies and practical year. This supports in-depth learning during the block placement and PJ.

Webop was developed by the Chair of Surgery I at UW/H. In addition, several contributions were created with the participation of the Chair and Institute of Anatomy and Clinical Morphology at the UW/H.
