DIGITAL LIBRARY
“one-stop access to UNIZA electronic resources”
Library Catalogues
Our library catalogue, along with the catalogues of other libraries listed on this page, provides an overview of available library materials in each institution.
Among the records, you will also find catalogued e-books that have been purchased. If a title is not available in our collection, you can request it from another library using the interlibrary loan service.
External databases
Most of our information resources are available through electronic databases.
These databases are funded by the University of Žilina, the NISPEZ IV project, and the Slovak National Library.
We also offer a dedicated Open Access section featuring databases that are freely available. If you need help using e-databases, visit our Courses and Training section. To access full texts from outside the university network, make use of our remote access service.

E-Journals
We offer a wide range of electronic journals. These journals are distinguished not only by their scientific focus, but also by the way full articles can be accessed.
Use remote access to view selected full texts.
E-scripts
The University Library of the University of Žilina is digitizing textbooks published by the University of Žilina. Since April 12, 2017, we have been making available the first textbooks—literally the first swallows—whose authors have agreed to their publication. We believe that the number of those who understand students’ needs and support modern technologies will continue to grow.
All accessible e-textbooks are protected and can only be viewed within the University of Žilina’s network. Their use is subject to copyright law. Users are fully responsible for any unauthorized use or manipulation of the e-textbooks and for any infringement of copyright regulations.
If you are not connected to the UNIZA network, please use remote access. This allows authorized users (students and staff of the University of Žilina) to view e-textbooks outside the university network.
UNIZA Digital Repository
Full texts of journal articles and conference papers published at UNIZA.
This resource also serves as a database of landing pages for records that have been assigned a DOI identifier at UNIZA.
Publi
The implementation of the Publi.cz platform at UNIZA is currently in progress. It will provide readers with access to study materials (including those beyond UNIZA’s own productions) and offer authors a space to manage the publication status of their e-books, among other features.
Odevzdej
Odevzdej.cz is a system designed to detect plagiarism in term papers and other academic works. Institutions can use this system to collect student submissions and search for similar documents, identifying potential cases of plagiarism. The system allows the creation of dedicated submission rooms where student works can be uploaded for plagiarism checking.
STN online - access to technical standards
In our technical study room, you can access the online catalogue of STN standards.
Additionally, printed standards are available in the library. You can locate them by using the catalogue’s advanced search and selecting the Standards Catalogue fund.
Remote access
Information resources and databases that are not hosted on the University of Žilina’s servers are generally made available based on the range of IP addresses that uniquely identify the university’s network environment. To provide access to these resources for UNIZA students and staff who are not physically connected to the university network via their PC, mobile phone, or tablet, we offer remote access through the OpenVPN service.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) extends a private network over a public network such as the Internet, enabling UNIZA students and staff to send and receive data as if their devices were directly connected to the university’s campus network.
