When to work with UKAŽ?

UKAŽ is suitable to use if:

• you are a complete beginner and do not orient yourself in the available information sources at CU,
• you want to do an overview search on a topic,
• you need articles on a topic and there is no specialized database for your field or you do not know about such a database,
• you want to find a book or journal that you know are available at CU libraries.

On the other hand, we do not recommend using UKAŽ if you need to work with special functions of some databases, e.g. thesaurus or find out the citations of documents (from Web of Science or Scopus), you want to limit the search results only to a specific field or area (in this case, use a field database) or you are looking for special content (e.g. data sets, images, geographic data, etc.).
