E-resources guide

Find suitable e-books and other resources for your needs.

Who may access

The e-resources provided by the library can be used via Jamk's network by the students, teachers and other staff of Jamk University of Applied Sciences. Remote access off-campus is also possible with Jamk username and password. Other visitors at the library can use most of the e-resources on specific computers reserved for the purpose.

Each e-resource has its own specific terms of use and license that the users must follow.

See also Resources and user rights (FinElib).

You can create an account for some of the e-resources if you want to make alerts for article searches or personalize services, for example. Creating an account requires user registration, which allows the collection of data.
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.
