Refine your search

Remote access user, in order to access e-resources remotely, do this

Log in to UEF-Primo with your UEF-username and password. You can use the e-resources remotely and save references and searches in UEF Primo.
OR
You can also search for material without logging in to UEF Primo. If you want to access e-resources outside the university network, you can use the Quick References on library’s homepage or perform a search in UEF Primo without logging in. Access the data by clicking the link “available online” / “Full text availability”. Log in to the opening remote access server with your UEF-username and password. This way you can access e-resources, but the customer functionalities of UEF Primo, such as saving searches and adding favourites, are not at your disposal. For more information primo@uef.fi.

When you want to make use of the UEF Primo customer functionalities and you don’t have a library card, register as a customer by filling an online form. Registration doesn’t require picking up a library card – the card is required only for borrowing print materials.
If you already have a library card, but you are unable to log in into UEF Primo, the problem is most likely in your customer information. To solve the problem, contact library@uef.fi. You don’t need to register as a customer again.
