It is important to know

The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library is the subscriber of several databases providing online services; you can acquire information about them by clicking to here.

On the basis of the contracts with the providers, some of the databases are permanently available for library members from home, too; other services can be used by remote access only in the period of pandemic situation.

One of them is ARCANUM DIGITHECA (digitized science repository); now its contents bound to subscription are also available for readers with reader's card authorizing to borrow. The database contains more than 31 million pages including scientific and professional journals, weekly and daily newspapers, encyclopedias and thematic book collections. Remote access is available by the provider for the members of the Library until withdrawal.
