For more electronic journals see the Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek (EZB): The EZB is a directory of e-journals and a gateway to their content. A note on the various kinds of access as displayed in the EZB: a green light signals that the content is freely available online; a yellow light signals that the content is licenced by the ZHB (and hence only available inside the IP range of the ZHB/University of Lucerne); a red light signals that the content is neither freely available online nor licenced by the ZHB (but might be available at another university library).
