Alternative Sources for Journal Articles

A pair of shoes in front of branching directional arrows

The university library provides you with access to more than 40,000 scientific journals, which you may read and download. Nevertheless there are not always enough funds available, to license all journals or all volumes of a journal.

If you don’t have access to an article at the TUM, then you often have the chance to use alternative paths to obtain scientific articles, usually free of charge.

  • use printed versions of journals
  • explore online resources free of charge
  • contact authors or your scientific community
  • share your articles as an author
  • order articles from publishers and document delivery services for a fee
