The results on the web catalogue appear as full bibliographic descriptions. The results may be displayed with or without subdocuments belonging to the documents on request.

The search may be refined according to the specifications (refined search), or the given keyword must match the beginning of a possible result (quick search)

The search may refer to the main document only, or to the subdocuments belonging to it as well (search in Analitika too).

The search specifications may refer to any other data which the Szirén system records. There are 23 main data for which the searches may be made (e.g. title, authors, key words, ETO reference number etc.) and for 102 types of different data (e.g. stamp, owner and binding etc.).

The search specifications within one search may be linked to each other without any limit in number, which means that any number of the fields of the search form may be completed for the same search. Between the search specifications “and” or “or” logical links may be determined.

The results include the specifications of the documents, the inventory numbers, if the copy is being borrowed at present; if so, what is the expiry date, the number of copies and the location within the library.

Further services of the library search page include borrowing details:

Readers may require a password from the librarian. If they do not require a password, their identification number can be used for identification on the net. In order to obtain their own borrowing information, two identifications have to be provided.

Password or identification number

As a result, borrowed documents and their expiry dates are displayed.

Renewing- advance booking on the website:
