E-resources
E-journals
The journals are ordered either as individual titles, which are registered in the library and subsequently distributed to the relevant clinics and departments if they do not remain in our free shelves. On behalf of faculty/hospital, we enter so-called consortia and thanks to this we have access to several hundreds online journal’s titles.
It is necessary to keep in mind certain unavoidable limitations that accompany access to the electronic version:
- in general, users from the faculty and the hostipal may not have equal access to journals
- some journals do not have full-text articles published online at all
- other times, the price of the purchased printed version does not include the online version
- sometimes the access is provided to only one user
The effort was to make titles that we as a faculty/hospital subscribe to available. The list includes some journals that offer free full texts. Because login details are often provided in the list and the faculty/hospital pays for subscriptions (=accesses), the list is ONLY available from the Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital network and Eduroam.
ONLY the Library of the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University and the Faculty of Medicine of Pilsen establishes or changes login details, including entering IP addresses!
