Once you have a UEF username and password, you can use electronic resources in two different ways. You can choose a login method according to your needs, but we recommend registering as a library customer. Registered, you can take advantage of UEF Primo's customer functionalities and get access to all the resources with a single login.
Registering as a customer — use of UEF Primo's customer functionalities
- If you are a UEF degree or postgraduate students or UEF Open University students, register as a library customer using the Tuudo mobile app.

- If you are a member of UEF staff, but your information cannot be found in Peppi, register as a library customer by filling in the registration form for UEFians.
Once registered, log in to UEF Primo with your UEF username and password and access e-resources remotely via UEF Primo.
