Preset the media type for faster results

Would you like to make your swisscovery search even easier by using the filter options? Read this quick tip to find out how.

Do you know what type of media you want to search for? You can use the filter just below the search field to restrict the results to a specific type of resource, such as books or images, before submitting your search. Thanks to the filter, the search will return fewer results, helping you to reach your goal faster.

For example, you may be searching:

... for books on the topic of Bauhaus

... for archival material about Albert Einstein

... for images of glaciers
