Use reliable information, don't settle for Google and Wikipedia. An extensive collection of electronic resources from different fields has been made available to students at the University of Oulu and Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Oamk).
Students at the University of Oulu cannot use Oamk's e-resources and vice versa, subscriptions to e-resources are separate. However, there are open access terminals in Pegasus Library for browsing the e-materials of Oamk and the University of Oulu.
E-resources can be accessed via Oula-Finna and Library guides website.
In the Library guides, the information sources are grouped by university, by topic or field of study to make it as easy as possible to find and use them.
On campuses, you can use e-resources from any computer connected to the University network | the Oamk network, by logging in using your institutional student username and password (Haka Login). On your own computer, you can log into your institution's network or use the Eduroam wireless network.
When studying at home or elsewhere outside campuses, you can also make a VPN connection to the University network | the Oamk network to access e-resources, as if you were on your institutions's network.
See instructions: OpenVPN Connect (University of Oulu students) tai Global Protect -VPN connection (Oamk students).
Electronic resources can be accessed off campus by logging in to the Oula-Finna portal or Library guides website using your institutional student username and password (Haka Login).
Electronic resources marked with a red lock are available on campus network. For off-campus access you need to log in using your institutional student username and password (Haka Login).
The green open lock indicates open access resources. No logging in is needed.
Some resources (marked with a blue key icon) require a collective username and password. Only students and staff at the University of Oulu and Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Oamk) can request for them by sending an email to kirjasto(at)oulu.fi.
Some resources are not available for remote access.
The terms and conditions related to the individual resources determine the use of e-resources, what you are / are not allowed to do. These include issues such as printing and linking.
