Search services

  • E-kutub
    Ebooks in Arabic.
  • LIBRIS
    A national catalogue providing information on titles held by Swedish university and research libraries.
  • Google Scholar 
    NB The search service contains not only scholarly literature but also many non-scholarly sources and dishonest journals.
