Browse and search the digital library
Digital library and Scientific Reader · Revision 1 · Last updated 7 November 2026Search the published books by their metadata, and by the full text of the books you may read.
What you need
- No sign-in is needed to browse; signing in extends the search to the text of the books available to you.
Steps
Open the “Digital library catalogue”.
Digital library →Type a title, author or a word from the text in “Search terms”, then select “Search”.
For a precise search open “Advanced search”: “Matching”, “Search in”, work type, language, publication year, author, ISBN, specialty.
Tick “Only books I can read” to hide what is not available to you.
Use “Refine results” to narrow the list, and “Clear filters” to start again.
Choose “View book” to open its page.
What happens next
Results are ranked by relevance with “Text excerpts” and “Occurrences in the text”, and marked “Available to you” or “Not available to you”.
If it is returned, rejected or blocked
- “Check the search filters”: a filter value is invalid, such as a wrong year; fix it or clear the filters.
- “No matching books”: change the search words or widen the scope.
