If you are unable to visit the library in person or would like to start exploring a specific field on your own, you can find research aids providing thematically arranged, free and remotely accessible electronic resources in the following areas: law, political science, history and certain international organisations. We have compiled these collections of links not only to provide access to reliable and high-quality online research resources with just a few clicks that can be freely cited even in scientific works but have also arranged the available online resources into a conceptual and logical framework to facilitate easier orientation in the individual fields.

Should you wish to continue your research by exploring the printed and electronic contents available in the library, but feel after browsing through the catalogue that it does not provide you with all relevant literature, we recommend that you use our Ask a librarian! service, developed to help you reach a reference librarian specialised in the above-mentioned disciplines.
