2.4 Homework

In order for everyone to get used to all necessary channels, I am not providing the readings, but rather make it your first task. Now that you do not have access to the university buildings and the library everyone should learn how to connect via VPN. With a VPN connection, you have access to all online resources provided by our library.

  1. Setup a VPN connection to the university network.
  2. Download the main readings online and download them.
    • Google Scholar (you can search for authors by typing author:name)
    • Primo
    • Sometimes papers or entire books are uploaded on the authors own website, so regular search engines help sometimes
  3. Make a note for every reading you couldn’t find. Some require a bit of digging, but they are all out there.

Having the possibility to connect to the university network via VPN is important even under normal circumstances. Google Scholar provides Primo links as long as you are connected to the university network (via VPN or eduroam). Every main reading can be found online.
