Overview
The LLC offers a variety of databases that can be searched via , by:
- entering keywords in the simple/ fields,
- typing the title in the , or
- using the subject-related .
The focus and the content of the databases vary widely:
- Specific format (e.g. only e-books, articles in e-journals, proceedings, videos, preprints or scientific data, etc.) vs. all types of electronic publication formats
- Full-text databases vs. bibliographic databases (providing information about the existence of a document only).
- Subject-focused vs. multidisciplinary.
- From one publisher only vs. from several publishers.
The aim of the catalogue is to list every document in every database, so that you can search all the databases at once. But to perform a detailed and sophisticated search, it makes sense to perform these searches on the platform of the relevant database. Reasons are that a-z.lu may not include every single article and on top of that a “metasearch” via a-z.lu will only ever be a compromise between the various databases in terms of search functionalities.
