Cookie SettingsThe default is to search in OULA materials, i.e. against all materials in the local index. You can also limit your search to a particular material type only by choosing it from the drop-down menu:
Advanced search searches for the same materials as Basic search, i.e. materials in the local index. You can narrow your search in the drop-down menu. Combine search fields with Boolean operators by search groups.
If you like, you can select year, language, and document type in other drop-down menus on the search screen. Narrow your search results with Narrow search filters and rearrange them with Sort drop-down menu.
An international e-resources search searches against a central index of electronic materials. The index contains a mass of databases from several different information providers, covering for example:
This search type is suitable e.g. for article searches when you don't need to make an exact search on your subject, but just need a few articles, or want to find out how much has been written on the subject in general.
The international e-resources search does not cover all the databases available in Oulu University Library. The most important databases that are excluded:
Article references contained in the databases missing from the central index are usually available in other databases that are included in the search. To access the user interfaces of the databases missing from the index, use Basic search.
It is recommended that systematic, precise, discipline-specific information searches are performed using the databases’ own search functions. Note that the international e-resources search does not cover the resources in the local index.
The Search works in the same way as Basic search, except:
The search results may contain article references and also references to other materials. Full texts of articles, books, and other documents are available on workstations within the University of Oulu network, provided that Oulu University Library has licences to the source materials.
Selecting and exporting references from the search results list to RefWorks is not possible. Open the reference in the source database (e.g. Elsevier, ProQuest, Wiley) and export it from there.
To go back to local search, click the OULA logo.
