UEF Primo
UEF Primo is the library's search service that gives you access to printed and electronic materials acquired by the library. By default, searches are directed to the collections of the UEF Library (i.e. books and journals), but you can search international articles and other electronic resources.
You do not need a library card to access the electronic resources but if you want to borrow, make reservations and save results, you need a library card.
