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 [email protected].
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 [email protected]. You don’t need to register as a customer again.
Requests on legal deposit material
You cannot place requests on legal deposit material (JOE Vapaakappale) in UEF Primo.
You can order legal deposit material for reading room use within the library’s premises by filling in the Deposit copy request form.
