Search by keyword

 

Enter the title of the database or perform the search by keywords.

 

 

After entering a keyword in the search field, for instance, medicine, the system will give you databases and resources on the subject of medicine. However, please note that the database search system is intended for the search of databases you are interested in and not for the search in the databases themselves. Therefore, you can search for e-journals and e-books by logging to the particular database or via  Virtual library.

 

Browsing

 

You may browse the list of databases:

• by subject;
• by the type of database;
• by alphabet.

 

At the top of a menu bar, select the parameters by which you would like to browse resources. 

 

 

After selecting the subject you are interested in, the system will offer you a list of the most relevant databases. Besides, you will see contacts of the subject librarian supervising the field, who will consult you on information search issues. 

 

The search parameter DB type allows the search of databases with a specific type of documents, for instance, by selecting “books”, the system gives a list of results with e-book databases. Resources can be browsed by indicators provided in the description of resources such as subjects, types, accessibility and keywords. These indicators operate as active links – when clicked on, they provide a list of results. After selecting a particular indicator, for instance, a keyword medicine, the system will provide a list of databases with information on medicine.
