This page links to the integrated services of several major publishers/intermediaries giving access to extensive sets of electronic journals - while using the same interface and offering a number of value-added features. These services may incorporate thousands of journals, but the degree of functionality (e.g. access to the full-text articles) is obviously limited by the individual or institutional customer's electronic journal subscriptions. The ITG library (partially) subscribes to the following services:
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) offers access to the full-text
electronic editions of its 11 journals. This includes the most recent issues,
and backfiles generally go back to 1995. As this site-licence is IP-based,
no usernames or passwords are needed from within ITG.
To get more information on the concept and workings of ASM journals, use the
help module of the site.

The Synergy portal offers unlimited access to the full-text editions of over
400 (and increasing) biomedical Blackwell Science journals to ITG-based users.
No username or password is required, as Synergy automatically recognizes
bona fide ITG IP-numbers.
This collection includes a number of journals the ITG library is currently
subscribing to, such as:

EbscoHost Biomedical Reference Collection (corporate edition) gives
access to a vast collection of some 1000 biomedical electronic journal editions.
Limitation: often the most recent 3 to 12 months are embargoed - and thus not
available.

EbscoHost EJS
is hosted by Ebsco, one of the world's leading international subscription agents.
EbscoHost EJS currently offers access to the electronic contents pages
(on a 'browsing only' basis) of some 10,000 journals.
For a selection of about 65 journals, however, additional services
are provided to ITG library patrons:

Elsevier ScienceDirect Web Editions
offers access to the full-text electronic editions of 24 of the
Elsevier Science journals the ITG library is currently subscribing to.
Take care: this service offers access to full-text journal articles,
but is basically limited to recent volumes only (generally the last
12 months).

Web Editions, use the help module of the site.
