“Articles & more” is based on the Web-Scale Discovery-Service “Summon” from Exlibris/Proquest which indexes numerous journals and full-text databases. The Summon index currently indexes around 40 million titles (e-books, e-journals, and databases) with approximately 4 billion records. When using the “Articles & more” tab, however, only products licensed by Heidelberg University are taken into account by the index.
If you activate the option “Add results beyond Heidelberg libraries collection” in the left control bar, the entire index is taken into account, i.e. there is no longer a restriction to the content licensed by the university. Please note that in many cases the full texts behind the hits are not available for members of Heidelberg University.
“Articles & more” include texts in a variety of languages, it is advisable to enter search terms in various languages.
