What is a database?
Databases are environments that provide access to electronic resources in the library collection (articles, books, reports, etc.). These sources, which contain bibliographic data, abstract, statistical data or full text, are regularly and systematically put into service. Their content may only consist of subject-specific publications (engineering, law, etc.) as well as an interdisciplinary headings.

Since the relevant electronic resources are accessed through IP control and web address specific to the organization, the link addresses of databases in the library website should be used instead of search engines (Google, Yandex, etc.).

Electronic resources can be used only by members of our university (students, academics and administrative staff) to meet research and information needs. As user accesses are monitored electronically in accordance with license agreements (ANKOS, EKUAL, publishers), misuse will impose legal responsibility on our university and the related user. Furthermore, breach of contracts may result in the suspension or cancellation of the service provided. In particular, the following rules must be observed:
Off-Campus Access
* In order to access the databases from outside of the university campus, [Off-Campus Access] link addresses must be used.
You can access databases remotely via the following web addresses without changing the Proxy settings on your computer. Access can be provided with the username and password you use for your Doğuş University e-mail address.
If you have access problems with databases' web sites, clearing the cache of the Internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.) will solve the problem. For Google Chrome...

We recommend using the Firefox web browser to avoid problems while accessing databases: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/browsers/

Read and Publish Agreements
“Read and publish agreements", often called transformative agreements, seek to shift the contracted payment from libraries to publishers away from subscription-based reading and towards open access publishing. With these agreements, authors can publish their accepted articles as open access without any additional payment.
