Search: Basics of Biology, Chemistry & Physics

What do I find here?

On this page you will find:

  • databases: multidisciplinary or subject-specific databases licensed by the Trier University of Applied Sciences, which offer you full texts, literature references or facts from the fields of biology, chemistry and physics.
  • journals: licensed journals in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics or databases which give you access to such journals.
  • research portals: websites that bundle information resources on biology, chemistry and physics and often enable meta searches via library catalogues, databases and search engines.
  • other: link collections that lead you to e.g. subject-specific search engines, free e-books or information pages.  

Important: In addition to the search tools listed here, there are multidisciplinary search options such as library catalogues, scientific search engines and academic networks.

Metasearch tools can be used to search for subject-specific search tools on your own: →  databases, → journals.

Research portals

DigiBib
  • Link: DigiBib (Digital Library)
  • Subjects: multidisciplinary
  • Link collection: Under the tab "Additional E-Media", the DigiBib offers you a collection of database and website links from the fields of biology, chemistry and physics.
Fidmath
  • Link: Specialist Information Service Mathematics (fidmath)
  • Subjects: mathematics, computer science
  • Description (DBIS): The research portal of the Specialized Information Service Mathematics (fidmath) offers a central search entry for many mathematical information sources (including library catalogs, collections of reviews, preprint servers, magazines, mathematically relevant websites). It is based on the Virtual Library of Mathematics (vifamath). In addition to an overall search in all connected sources, the subject information service also offers separate search entries into the various source types as well as a thematic-hierarchical approach. The “specialized information service mathematics” is funded by the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB Göttingen) and the Technische Informationsbibliothek Hannover (TIB Hannover). Both libraries are supported by the Mathematische Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO). It is a DFG project that aims to develop an infrastructure for the supraregional provision of mathematical literature and information as well as related services (State: 05/2018).
LIVIVO
  • Link: Research portal LIVIVO (life sciences)
  • Subjects: biology, chemistry, energy, environmental protection, agriculture and forestry, nutrition, medicine, pharmacy, process engineering, biotechnology, food technology
  • Description (DBIS): LIVIVO is the search portal of ZB MED - information center for life sciences for the subjects medicine, healthcare, nutrition, environmental and agricultural sciences. LIVIVO replaces the previous search portals MEDPILOT and GREENPILOT.

    The new portal LIVIVO offers a simultaneous search in all fields of ZB MED. The search is not limited to its own holdings: LIVIVO searches around 59 million records from over 60 subject data sources (part of it is included in the data source BASE).
    The hit list in LIVIVO also provides information on how users can access the texts or other materials. Whenever possible, freely accessible sources are linked and the full text is made available. That is how LIVIVO supports the idea of ​​Open Access. In addition, if possible, articles with links to the underlying research data are linked (state: 03/2018).

TIB Portal
  • Link: Technical Information Library (TIB-Portal)
  • Subjects: Architecture, civil engineering and surveying, chemistry, electrical engineering, measurement and control technology, energy, environmental protection, nuclear technology, computer science, mathematics, physics, technology in general
  • Description (DBIS): Launched in January 2016, the TIB portal brings together the previous websites of the “Technische Informationsbibliothek” and the University Library Hannover. The former portal for technology and science "GetInfo" is now also integrated into the new TIB portal. Through this new portal, the TIB offers access to several million data sets from specialist databases, publishing offers and library catalogs (State: 05/2018).
ViFa Bio
  • Link: Virtual Subject Library Biology (ViFaBio)
  • Subject: biology
  • Description (DBIS): The Virtual Subject Library Biology (vifabio) offers you quick access to literature and biological information. The portal combines catalogue data, selected internet sources, journals, databases and full-text documents in one virtual place (State: 05/2018).
