Licenced electronic media are only accessible within the network of HCU (Hints about access for members of HCU)

One search in many sources

Find books and articles under one surface in one step.

Find out at a glance whether the desired item is available on-site or online.

Decide for yourself how the results are sorted. As in popular search engines, the relevance ranking is preset.

Save your hits in personal lists.

Found nothing or too much?

Change the search results using the facets on the right side of the screen in the result list.

Extend your search for the holdings of the Hamburg libraries or even to a national search with the possibility of inter-library loan ("union catalog").

Modify the number of search results: with the year of publication year, the type of media or the language.

Managing references

Manage the results of your search electronically right from the start.

Would you like to collect references, comment them and create a bibliography automatically? Reference management software will help you. The HCU offers citavi as a free campus license, but there are also freely available programs.

Use the export function to import your search results into other applications.
