How do I search for articles on a specific topic?

If you do not want to search for articles from only one specific electronic information source (= online databases and collections; abbreviated eResources or EIZ) or you do not know which e-resource to choose for search, UKAŽ is the ideal place to start your search.

Tips & more options

1. Did you get too many results? You can narrow the query by using the filters (facets) on the left side of the results page.
2. Did you find few results or none? You can also extend the query to records of documents that are not available at the CU - just click on the option ‘Show results without full text’ in the filters (facets) on the left
