Terms of use of Electronic Resources

Updated 15 April 2026

Who may access

The e-resources provided by the library may be used by the students, teachers and other staff of Jamk University of Applied Sciences from computers connected to the Jamk network. Remote access from off-campus devices is also possible with the Jamk username and password. Other customers can access only open materials outside Jamk’s network. Some of the licensed materials can be accessed by other customers at library premises. Get to know Jamk’s Guidelines for the use of the data network.

The library and electronic resource providers have made agreements that define the terms of use of electronic resources. Check the terms of use in the electronic resource providers’ platforms. Terms of use of electronic resources acquired via the FinELib consortium are stated at FinELib’s website.
