Remote Access to Full Text
Most of the library's electronic resources - databases, journals, books, and reprints are only accessible to the Tel-Aviv University community and not to the general public.
As of today, it is possible to access databases, books, articles, and datasets in full text via OpenAthens.
We are making the connections for you. All you have to do is look for the relevant information and login with your university credentials.
Access to online resources is possible in the following ways:
- Through DaTA: Sign in to your account and log in to the online resource with your university credentials (username, ID number, and university password).
- Through the Databases portal: When clicking on the name database name, you will be asked to log in with your university credentials.
- Installing LibKey Nomad: This browser extension allows you to get direct access to articles and books available through subscriptions of the Tel Aviv University libraries while surfing online.
- Have you reached a website where you are not recognized as part of the TAU community? Look for INSTITUTIONAL LOGIN in the menu. If the university has an agreement with it, you can use your university credentials (available for some of the databases and providers).
- At Google Scholar, click on Tau Find Text and log in with your university credentials (username, ID number, and university password). If you cannot see the TAU Find Text link, please do the following:
