You\u2019re already familiar with conducting literature research in libraries and feeling confident, but the lingering effects of the Covid-19 lockdowns are still making research more challenging. Libraries may be partially or completely inaccessible, opening hours might have changed, and other restrictions could apply. So, you\u2019re considering conducting your literature research almost entirely online \u2014 but is that even possible? Here, we\u2019ll show you how to make it work.    <\/p>\n<h2>Good preparation is half the job<\/h2>\n<p>This applies to literature research in general and online research in particular. Start by carefully reviewing your topic and research questions, identifying the <strong>key terms<\/strong> for your paper (usually no more than ten keywords). When searching online, it can be tempting to enter full sentences or questions directly, but this often yields an overwhelming number of results\u2014many of which will be irrelevant to your topic. Sifting through this excess literature can be time-consuming. Instead, it\u2019s more effective to <strong>enter each keyword individually or combine a few related terms<\/strong> in the search bars of databases. This approach will help you quickly find relevant resources for your topic.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cca2011 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cca2011\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9298b7c\" data-id=\"9298b7c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2751cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-13182 elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"f2751cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!--Banner Tag \/\/ Website: GRIN.COM \/\/ Adslot: gri_outstream (6695068) -->\r\n<div id='npm_6695068'><\/div>\r\n<script>ADNPM.cmd.push(function(){ADNPM.loadAd(6695068)});<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f2d01c7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f2d01c7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd02f37\" data-id=\"bd02f37\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d369873 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d369873\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>The databases<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve identified your keywords, it&#8217;s time to start exploring databases. A great starting point is meta-catalogs like the <strong>Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog<\/strong> (KVK). These allow you to search through German and international library collections by selecting the catalogs most relevant to your topic. In addition to libraries, you can also include booksellers in your search. Meta-catalogs like this provide a broad overview of the literature available on your subject, helping you determine whether your keywords need further refinement. Besides keywords, you can also search by author, title, publication year, or identifiers like ISBN, ISSN, or ISMN (unique codes assigned to specific works or publications), especially if you have a reading list from your seminar at hand.      <\/p>\n<p>Through large databases, you can also access <strong>smaller, more specialized databases<\/strong> to search for sources specific to your field. These are often featured on your university\u2019s or your department\u2019s website. A quick Google search will likely lead you to your university\u2019s overview page, where you can find curated resources for your studies.  <\/p>\n<p>If you want to get an unrestricted overview of the various databases and libraries at the beginning, it is worth taking a look at the <strong>Database Information System (DBIS).<\/strong> This lists the databases sorted by subject. The search via <strong>Google Scholar<\/strong> has also proven to be particularly effective. This search engine specializes in scientific texts and research literature and thus offers you more suitable search results for your term paper than the classic Google search engine.   <\/p>\n<p>Another widely recognized tool is the <strong>Online Public Access Catalogue<\/strong> (OPAC), which also functions as a meta-catalog. Its key advantage is that most universities provide their own OPAC, eliminating concerns about access permissions for individual works. The catalog links you directly to online resources and includes the holdings of university libraries, making it a convenient and comprehensive option for your research.

you have found literature via search engines and databases that lends itself as a source for your term paper, it will present itself to you in one of the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>Some works &#8211; especially those whose publication was only a few years ago &#8211; are already <strong>available as e-books<\/strong>. These are usually available as PDF <strong>files<\/strong> for download or you can at least read them in your browser. Access is usually subject to a fee, but you can bypass this by logging in to the respective platforms through your college or educational institution. However, there is a limitation here, as <strong>not every university provides access rights for every database<\/strong> . In such cases, you can use the information you already know about the publication to search for your literature in other databases or libraries. For example, if you access directly via your university&#8217;s <strong>OPAC<\/strong> , you can be sure that you have access rights through your university.     <\/p>\n<p>Older literature is increasingly being made available as online resources. These are <strong>digitized versions<\/strong> \u2014 essentially scans \u2014 of existing printed works. You can access these digital copies just like other online resources. Unlike printed books, they offer the advantage of allowing you to print them out, annotate directly on your computer, or highlight important sections in the text. It\u2019s always worth checking for digitized versions, even if you could borrow the printed book from the library.   <\/p>\n<p>Finally, despite access restrictions, <strong>libraries <\/strong>still offer the option to borrow materials from their collections. If you find works available through your library\u2019s online databases, you can usually place a hold on them.
