Update on the new swisscovery research portal

Find out more about the change-over to swisscovery and temporary restrictions in usage.

Starting on 7 December 2020, as an ETH Library user, you will now have access to the entire catalogue of scientific materials in Switzerland via a single research portal called swisscovery. Swisscovery will be replacing the search portal of the ETH Library and NEBIS recherche.

Information on your previous user details

Your current and previous loans, reservations, search history in the search portal and favourites cannot be migrated to the new system. Information on exporting your favourites, previous loans and reservations can be found at library.ethz.ch/swisscovery-en.

Further information for the coming weeks

Before the switch to swisscovery is complete, there will be a brief period of restrictions in terms of library usage.
