This guide introduces library's licensed database services and gives instructions on how to use them.

If you wish to get more information about a service, click on the name of each service. The list of the names is located on the left.

Familiarize yourself with the terms of use for database services, which define who is allowed to use the materials, for what purpose the materials can be used, and whether materials can be printed, copied, or saved in parts.

In addition to the general terms of use, always check the specific terms of use for individual resources. They may contain exceptions that users must adhere to. The terms of use for individual resources can be found on the right side of each resource description.

From some services, you can also find instructions for accessibility.

Note: If you register, do not use the same password as on your Jamk user account.

When online, be careful about the information you share when creating an account. Please familiarize yourself carefully with the privacy policy and terms of use of the e-resources.
