Database resources

All electronic information resources in relation to the Charles University can be found on the Electronic Resources Portal (also known as PEZ): https://pez.cuni.cz/ERP (PEZ) contains records for entire databases, comprehensive collections of electronic books and journals, repositories and other tools of electronic information resources.
On the other hand, to search for individual (e)-books, university theses, journals and articles in them, use UKAŽ: https://ukaz.cuni.cz/.

The following list does NOT replace a search in ERP (PEZ), but contains important paid database sources, usually of the largest publishers, and even in the form as they are indexed by ERP (PEZ):

Further classification only complements the situation with ERP (PEZ) or points to other important database sources.

  • CATALOGUES – if you look for detailed info about journal (e.g. ISSN, periodicity)
  • OTHERS RESOURSES – the list of resourses offers another possibilities like alert via email, e-books etc.
