... GEOMAR

  • GLORIA (GEOMAR Library Ocean Research Information Access)Our new library search engine and discovery tool GLORIA offers various advantages compared to the traditional library catalogue and combines various search links offered on our website. Of course you can find everything you would expect in a library catalogue: including books and journals, print and electronic versions.
    Furthermore you can find “latest articles” from scientifically relevant journals, articles from Open Access repositories and also older articles and databases accessible through DFG National Licences. References and fulltext articles from our institutional repository “OceanRep”, bibliographies and research data (Pangaea) extend the search space. For detailed information and a tutorial on the functionalities : GLORIA. The GEOMAR Online Catalogue is still available.
