  1. First, navigate to the entry page of the desired electronic resource, such as databases or e-books, and look for institutional login options. Keep in mind that the terminology used by different providers may vary.

  3. Choose the Technical University of Munich as your home institution. Be aware that there may be variations in the way it's named, including Technische Universität München, TU München, or TUM.
