Different search groups and accessing databases in UEF Primo
There are four different search groups in UEF Primo:
- Library catalog: The library’s printed and electronic books and journals, dissertations, and databases
- International articles: International full-text articles and references (multidisciplinary search)
- All e-resources: All electronic materials: publications and databases
- Everything: All these together
It is advisable to use Primo search groups “International articles” or “Everything” when you want to map out what has been written about the subject with an extensive search. Searches are not limited to any particular discipline, but are multidisciplinary. Typically there are a lot of results, which is why it is advisable to limit the results afterwards, e.g. by type of publication, availability and time of publication. More detailed, discipline-specific searches are recommended to be done in discipline-specific databases. Databases pertaining to your field may be found using the UEF Primo database search (opens in a new tab).
The most functional search language in UEF Primo is English; when retrieving from the search group “Library’s collections”, the Finnish language also works.
