# Accessing BAU Resources

Through a partnership with Bahçeşehir University (BAU), BI students and faculty members have access to dozens of research databases, containing millions of items.

To access these materials, BI students must use their UMIS credentials for authentication. Please note that faculty members must use their network / WLAN credentials.

For questions related to usernames and/or passwords, please contact [IT](mailto:it@berlin-international.de).

<p class="callout info">UMIS usernames are usually in the format: **firstname.surname**</p>
