‘MetaSearch’ is a special feature of
eLibrary enabling you to search up to ten databases
simultaneously.
The
advantage is that you will get your results fast (quick);
the disadvantage that the results are limited
(non-exhaustive) and often contaminated (dirty) by
irrelevant data. |

field without information on the location of the
publications. In
some cases, you may click to get the full text
on screen. If clicking is not possible, you need
to find the title in a journal article databases
or in a catalogue (if it refers to a book).
