Summon@BTH
In the search box for SUMMON, you search in several literature databases and in the library catalog at the same time. You will find, among other things, articles, books, e-books, conference articles, theses and dissertations.
Use the different filters in the left menu to narrow your search. For example, you can choose books or only scientific material.
Scientific texts are often written in English, which is why SUMMON and scientific databases work best when searching in English.
Databases and e-resources
If you want to do more advanced or specific searches, you can use the literature databases from the library’s database list. You can for example search for the database name (IEEE), type (eBooks) or subject (computer science).
GetIt@BTH
In most of our literature databases, you will find the link GetIT@BTH next to your search result to help you find the article.
GetIt@BTH first checks if the full text is available in one of the databases that the library subscribes to.
If the article is not found, you will get an order form. Before you order – remember to only order what you really need in your studies.
