If you are looking for a particular article:

1. Search it in Andor
2. Search it in GoogleScholar, use this link or the one on Databases A-Z list to access material purchased by the university even when off-campus.

See our guides:

• Andor guide
• Information searching guide

• GoogleScholar

When using GoogleScholar off-campus, use the link above to get full-text links to materials provided by Tampere University Library.

Unfortunately using the above link doesn't always work. There is a way around this: at Google Scholar's settings you can select " Tampere University Libary" as your institution at the Library links menu. This will give you access to all the materials available to you through the library even if you don't use the above link.  

1. Go to Google Scholar and select settings from the top left corner

2. Select Library link and write Tampere in the show library access search box on that page. Then select Tampere University.

If you can't find the article that you need, contact the Library's Interlibrary Service.

You can find our opening hours and contact information on our website.
