Charles University or individual faculties purchase a large number of bibliographic and full-text databases with the support of the CzechELib project. See the overview list of databases that can be used in 2024.

For 2024 we have several databases newly available. In this post you can find information about Oxford Music Online, Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, Online Egyptological Bibliography (OEB), Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and Oxford Bibliographies in Chinese Studies.

We currently have active trial access to four eResources. Specifically, the scite_ tool, the Policy Commons: Global Think Tanks database and Korean databases KRpia and DBpia. More information on each eResource can be found in this post.
