E-materials are licensed services acquired by the library. E-resources include search services and databases that can be used to find references as well as complete articles on various topics. The e-material listing also includes portals, standards, reference works and dictionaries.
As a rule, e-materials are paid services that the library has acquired for the use of customers. Their use is limited to the students and staff of the university of applied sciences.
The use of e-materials does not require a library card. You can access all of the databases with your HAKA-account. These materials are available both in the Centria network and also via remote use!
