Literature research

The Institute of Phonetics is taking part in the ‘Decentralised Cataloguing’ project, i.e. our specialist library holdings from 1989 onwards can be searched online. The retroactive cataloguing of earlier holdings is in progress.

All works in the library as well as eBooks can be found via the USB search.

Journals can also be searched via the central journal database (ZDB).

Access to online media such as eBooks and journals requires connecting through the university network. If you are not in the university network, we recommend using a VPN.

Further information on searching and borrowing can be found on the USB's pages.
