off-campus access to ELTE’s licensed web resources

ELTE subscribes to several web resources which provide access to thousands of journals and other research materials in the humanities. Through these services you can access full-text articles, e-books, dictionaries and multimedia materials, among other things.

In order for you to use ELTE’s licensed web resources from off-campus computers (IP addresses not associated with ELTE), you must first obtain a username and password for Caesar (ELTE’s email service).

To use the web resources, you will need Stunnel (also see Stunnel) or VPN. Check out the local howto’s (in English).

You will find a number of web resources on the site of the Egyetemi Könyvtári Szolgálat/University Library Service and the Akadémiai Könyvtár/Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Additional databases can be accessed from http://eisz.mtak.hu/index.php/en. The Electronic Information Service provides nation-wide access for academic and higher education institutions to subscription-based databases. IP authentication is required to use licensed databases (e.g., ERIC, JSTOR, Web of Science).

If you have finished accessing these databases, switch off Stunnel/VPN in order to restore your original (faster) connection.

Good luck!
