Types of database resources:
All electronic information resources in relation to the University can be found on the Electronic Resources Portal (PEZ): https://pez.cuni.cz/ (we recommend save the address in your browser's favorites). PEZ contains records for entire databases, comprehensive collections of electronic books and journals, repositories and other tools of electronic information resources.
