Access to e-resources from home

All students and other employees of Charles University have access to a wide range of electronic information resources – see CU eResources Portal at https://eresources.cuni.cz. For accessing e-resources from your home, you need to know your login credentials from the Charles University Authentication Service.

At the eResources Portal, you can view the resources by a faculty/unit or by subject. In a separate section, users can find the current offer of free trials, which has grown significantly as a result of special offers from several producers following the COVID-19 emergency measures.

CU libraries and loans

The decision to completely close or restrict the operations of individual CU libraries and study rooms depends on the management of faculties or other units. For more information please visit websites of faculties/faculty libraries.

All CU libraries currently provide users with online referencing services, and they help with literature searches. Some libraries are also involved in supporting e-learning at their faculties.

If you are looking for a particular book that would normally be physically available in your departmental library, you can check the University eBooks Portal to see whether the University has access to an electronic version. Likewise, you can look for available electronic periodicals at the eJournals Portal.

In regards to the current situation, all loans from CU libraries were extended until May 15, 2020 and overdue fees will not accrue during the period from March 11 to May 15, 2020.
