Information and Education
The libraries offer information resources in print and electronic form and we are actively involved in the development of users' competences to search, organise and use them for research purposes.
Access to information resources
| Through the catalogue we inform about available printed publications and permanently purchased e-books in MU libraries. | |
| E-resources at MU | We administer an overview of currently available e-resources at Masaryk University and provide advice on their use. |
| Discovery Service |
We offer searching of scientific information in most e-resources available at MU in a unified search system. |
Educational content offer
Most MU libraries collaborate with their faculties to prepare courses, seminars or webinars on information education. Some of the libraries also provide teaching of courses at various levels of study, including doctoral studies. The current offer can be found on the websites of individual libraries.

AI tools and a helping hand from MU Libraries
At MU Libraries we are intensively involved in artificial intelligence tools. We follow new developments, test individual tools and offer consultations on ethical aspects of working with AI. We also participate in an internal university project to support AI tools in teaching.
