eAccess

Are you on the road or at home? eAccess is a convenient way to use electronic media the University Library at the TUM has under licence. These include electronic e-journals, e-books and databases. eAccess is web based and requires no plug-ins, client software or a special browser settings.

Overview

Who can use eAccess?

TUM Students and Employees

All students and staff members of the Technical University of Munich are entitled to use eAcces. To log in you need your TUM ID or your @tum.de mail address.

Employees at the University Hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar

As a TUM employee, you will automatically receive a TUM account when you are hired. If you do not know your access data, please contact the TUMonline user administrator of your faculty.

If you are an employee of the University Hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar (MRI), you also need a TUM account. LRZ IDs in the form "t1234an" or your MRI account does not work. If you do not already hold a TUM account, you can request one from the Human Resources Department of the University Hospital.

TUM Guests

TUM guests, e.g. visiting scientists, can receive a TUM ID for the time of their visit, which entitles them to use eAccess. To obtain a guest account please contact the TUMonline guest administrator of the chair/unit you are visiting.

Private Persons and External Library Users

For licensing reasons, external library users cannot use eAccess. You can access our licensed e-media collections at workstations in our reading rooms.

Login and Logout

Before you start your e-media search, we recommend to authenticate as a TUM member via eAccess.

Log in with your TUM ID or your TUM e-mail address at https://eaccess.ub.tum.de/login.
Then select a suitable search portal, e.g. OPAC for e-books or EZB for e-journals.

For more information on TUM ID and login details, please visit the TUM FAQ page. If you have any problems concerning your TUM ID, please contact the TUM Helpdesk at it-support@tum.de.

If you click on URLs of licensed e-media without authentification as a TUM member, you may be denied access or run into a paywall. To authenticate via eAccess subsequently, we provide you with a browser bookmarklet, a special bookmark tool that enables authentication by reloading the URL via eAccess.

Add the bookmarklet to your browser's favorites or the bookmark toolbar. Right-click the following link to save it to your bookmarks: Reload via eAccess
Every time you call up the URL of licensed content, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-8348-2171-3, simply click on the bookmarklet.
The URL will then be reloaded and you will be routed to the eAccess login page where you must enter your TUM ID or TUM e-mail address.
After login you will be redirected to the original URL, in this example http://dx.doi.org.eaccess.ub.tum.de/10.1007/978-3-8348-2171-3, and you will gain access to TUM licensed resources without paywall.

Please note: The bookmarklet does not work with some providers, e.g. Thieme eBooks or Web of Science. In these cases, please log in to eAccess first before accessing such databases and platforms. Alternatively, you can put in the URL bar https://eaccess.ub.tum.de/login?url= in front of the resource URL in order to reload via eAccess.

For more information on TUM ID and login details, please visit the TUM FAQ page. If you have any problems concerning your TUM ID, please contact the TUM Helpdesk at it-support@tum.de.

Logout

There are two logout options:

automatically if you close the browser or if you do not use eAccess for two hours
manually by clicking on the logout button at http://eaccess.ub.tum.de/menu
