Access to e-sources
What?
The e-sources of the University Library can be searched together with the other collections in Limo.
-
Databases, e-books and e-journals
All e-sources to which the University Libary subscribes or has a license to, and a selection of freely available e-sources (e.g. through Open Access). -
Books and articles available in Lirias
Lirias is the digital repository of scientific publications by KU Leuven staff. As such it is also used for the university's Open Access policy. -
Electronic publications indexed in Primo Central
Primo Central is an index of hundreds of millions articles and e-books (chapters), based on data offered by publishers and content providers or uploaded from open access-repositories. The index already covers various e-journal collections and databases to which the University Library subscribes or has a license, or that are freely available. Primo Central still is a work in progress, though: the amount of content still increases monthly.
Therefore consult the
current overview of indexed sources + selection of important sources that are not yet searchable in Primo Central (and Limo).
