Excluded from the loan are:

Research tools of the FU Berlin

Freie Universität offers a large number of research tools (catalogs, subject databases, search engines).  For the beginning we always recommend the library portal PRIMO, because it covers most of the search queries that come up at the beginning of your studies.

• Bibliotheksportal PRIMO (The central search portal for literature research)
