Access to Licensed E-Resources

Members of the University of Liechtenstein can access library-licensed e-resources (e-journals, databases, e-books, etc.) on campus only via the university’s internal network.

Some databases require a user ID and password. Access is provided via a redirect to the secure area (my.uni.li).

Access for external users is only possible at the PC workstation in the library reading room.

Note: Some databases cannot be used on-site at the PC workstation. For options on obtaining the desired document, please contact the library staff on site.

In all cases, prior registration at the circulation desk is required, where you can also obtain further detailed information about access and use.

External users do not have access to licensed e-media outside the library.

Members of the University of Liechtenstein can access the library’s licensed e-resources worldwide via Citrix. Citrix provides the ability to use internal resources outside the university’s network.

By using Citrix, licensed electronic resources can be accessed from home or via an external WiFi. To do so, the following IT setup must be performed and login credentials must be used:

• Install Citrix Workspace App on personal PC/notebook
• Download Microsoft Authenticator on mobile phone
• Username: "firstname.lastname@uni.li" (eg. hanna.example@uni.li; no private email account!)
• Password: your uni.li password (same as for Moodle or my.uni.li).

Please note that you use multi-factor authentication for this service. You will be automatically asked to approve the login on the mobile phone. Then click on the Google Chrome Browser App provided by Citrix.

Should you need assistance installing Citrix, please contact our IT by email or write your request online.

Some database providers offer Access via your institution. To use this option, you need to have access to the Internet.

• On the database homepage, select Sign up via Institutional Login.
• Search for your institution and select it.
• Log on with your unili account.

The library of the University of Liechtenstein enters into contracts and subscriptions with various providers for licensed e-resources. These agreements define the terms of use, which are based in part on applicable copyright law.

The following general terms of use apply:

• Full texts may only be printed or downloaded for personal use and within the context of study, research or teaching. Any use for commercial purposes is prohibited.
• The sharing of data or documents with third parties and their distribution (e.g. on a publicly accessible website) is not permitted. Third parties include external platforms, in particular ChatGPT or other AI platforms where storage and future use by third parties is determined.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): The use of licensed content and data for training or working with AI tools is, in many cases, contractually prohibited. If you plan to use licensed resources in this way, please contact us in advance so that the relevant legal framework can be clarified. Further information on the use of licensed full texts in generative AI tools can be found on the following webpage of the ETH Zurich Library.
• Systematic downloading and duplication (either manually or through robots such as scraping, crawlers, scripts, etc.) of substantial parts of e-journal, e-book or database content is prohibited. Providers of e-resources consider this misuse, which may result in access to the resource being blocked for all members of the university.
• Passwords and other access credentials are confidential and must not be shared with third parties.
• In addition, the IT policies of the University of Liechtenstein, the Copyright Act and the licence agreements concluded with providers apply.
