„The university campus library is an indispensable partner for students of the Faculty of Sports Studies, which helps to increase the quality of teaching and professional development of our students through top-notch information resources, effective work with professional databases and targeted support of educational activities.“

Mgr. Jiřina Medalová, Ph.D.

„The lectures by library staff on citations and the use of the Zotero citation manager saved time for instructors, who no longer had to explain everything individually to students.“

Mgr. Igor Malenovský, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Terrestrial Invertebrate Research Group – Department of Botany and Zoology – Faculty of Science MU


„Introducing the portal of electronic information resources of Masaryk University and the methods of searching in them to our students significantly makes research for their bachelor's and master's theses more efficient. Their writing is further facilitated by lessons in using the citation manager Zotero.“
