LUBsearch is the entry point to most of the University libraries’ collective resources, both electronic and printed. It consists of three sections with different advantages: Discovery, Databases A-Z and ePublications

Note that when you search in LUBsearch you do not search in all of the databases you have access to through the university. So you may need to go directly to a specific database. You find all databases in Databases A-Z. This is the case when it comes to for example finance databases, statistics databases and databases for Swedish news- and magazine articles.

Discovery

LUBSearch

Through a single search field you can find articles, journals, doctoral theses, books and e-books. If you are outside the University campus, log in with your Lucat-ID to access full texts and e-books.

Use “Advanced search” to combine several different subsearches in different fields to create a more complex search. You can combine several terms with OR within a field and then combine that field with another one using AND.

If you want to do a deeper and more systematic search on a specific subject we recommend that you use a subject-specific database, since these databases offer refined search possibilities and specialized subject terms.

Databases A-Z
