Searching from home
The library subscribes to a large number of databases, especially for students and teachers/researchers at Blekinge Institute of Technology. We offer login via proxy server so that you can use the databases off campus also.
If you are using the library's information resources from home and are outside of the institute's network you will be automatically directed to the login page.
Start from the entry Search for Information when you are about to begin your information retrieval process.
Login with your usual student/BTH-account and you will be linked to the database you chose. All students who are registered at the institute will receive an account by contacting the IT-department (this also applies to BTH staff).
Most databases can be accessed this way, but a few requires you to come to the library and contact the information desk.
