How about a magazine?[edit | edit source]

Example 1[edit | edit source]

  • I have a quote:

Clinical Chemistry & Laboratory Medicine 2006, 44(7): 813-16 (Gibelin P et al: Prognostic value...)

  • I will find out if 1st LF has it online
  • EZB - I'm looking for "clin chem lab med" in the quick search
  • appears at the magazine
    • "info" - information about the magazine
    • "readme" - info about subscription
    • "traffic lights"
  • select a record that is accessible (yellow)
  • I will link to the magazine page
  • I will find the necessary article
  • I will download

Example 2[edit | edit source]

  • I have a quote:

Experimental Neurology 2006, 202(1): 21-35 (Bakker M et al: Postural responses...)

  • I'll see if 1.LF has it online
  • EZB - I'm looking for "experimental neurology" in the quick search
  • appears at the magazine
    • "ičko" - information about the magazine
    • "readme" - info about subscription
    • "traffic lights"
  • unfortunately, the journal is not accessible to us (red), but I can find out which library using EZB has it available - list of participating institutions
  • I will look in the complete catalog
  • National Medical Library - in 2006, it has no library in printed form
  • The National Library of the Czech Republic – in 2006, there was no library in printed form
  • I therefore choose the option from EZB - library - MVS service
