Databases
With databases you can access articles and scientific publication, as well as search for subject and specific type of material.
The database list has a new function where you can search by type of content. Choose from the list or combine your search with both type and subject. What do you think of the feature, is it helpful or needs some improvement? Please, send us an email with your thoughts to e-library@oru.se.
You can also search a whole subject by refining and specialise the searches with advance search techniques.
