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, or you want to find a book or journal that you know are available at CU libraries.

UKAŽ naopak nedoporučujeme využít, pokud potřebujete pracovat se speciálními funkcemi některých databází, např. tezaurus nebo zjistit citovanost dokumentů (z Web of Science či Scopus), chcete omezit výsledky vyhledávání jenom na specifický obor nebo oblast (v tomto případě použijte oborovou databázi) nebo hledáte speciální obsah (např. datové sady, obrázky, geografická data apod.).
