Electronic information resources at MU
For the Thieme Electronic Book Library: You do not need to log in, just click on the relevant section in the left hand side column. These books are a favourite of most students, since they can provide a range of details to summaries of text for every subject.
If you create a login, then you have the advantage to bookmark pages, add notes etc.

Information about books for new students (2010/11)
(Students of years 2-6, please scroll down for book list information)
For 1st year students, the list of university recommended textbooks can be found at the following link:
http://www.med.muni.cz/index.php?id=442.
- You can buy the books in advance in your home country, buy them on arrival from faculty bookshop in September, or simply borrow the books (limited copies) from the faculty library if you wish not to buy them. You can also order in advance in the Faculty Bookshop (the time of delivery is about 1 month).
Faculty Bookshop:
Kamenice 5, pavilion A9,
email: objednavka@lekarskeknihy.cz
phone: +420 549493619.
- MIMSA will also be running a book sale in orientation week (12th to 25th September) where older students will be offering some of their second hand books at discounted prices.
- Despite the sudden high demand for books which occurs on new student arrival every september, most older students advise you to wait until you arrive in Brno before ordering any books because different students prefer different books despite whatever is recommended, you must decide what will suit you.
When you arrive in Brno for orientation week (during which there will be no lessons) you will have the chance to talk to other students, and so decide better what will be right for you.
- Please note, all books listed as “Faculty edition” in the above link will probably not be available in your home country as they are written by professors of our own faculty. It will be possible to buy these in beginning of semester in the Faculty Bookshop.
