FAQ
Why can't I open fulltexts of some articles in the e-resources?
E-resources offer access to fulltexts of only those journals that are included in the collections subscribed by Masaryk University. The other collections in the e-resources are not available for MU in fulltexts and therefore you can obtain only abstracts.
Which database should I start with?
We recommend to start with one of the big multidisciplinary databases – EBSCO, SAGE, ProQuest, Wiley or JSTOR. Just go to the list of e-resouces and choose the right database you need. You can also search in the complete list of all databases – Portal of electronic information resources at MU.
Can I access electronic resources from outside the university?
Yes, it is possible to access e-resources from outside the Masaryk university. More details are given university Portal of electronic information resources.
How do I know if a particular journal is available online?
To find a particular journal by title use EBSCO Discovery Service – List of available Journals and Books. This service enables you to look up a journal/book by title and gives you information on availability of online version of the document – gives you the name of the database in which it is available and the coverage dates. Then you can use the links to get to the fulltexts.
