Digital Library
In addition to our library search engine PRIMO, the FH Upper Austria libraries have licensed around 20 databases that enable you to find further information, articles, data and facts.
The databases should be searched in addition to PRIMO - especially if the database is not offered via PRIMO.
Essentials about Research and (Remote-)Access
COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH IN PRIMO
The library search engine PRIMO searches the licenced contents of nearly all our purchased databases if you choose the search option "CatalogPlus".
Sign In to PRIMO with your FH Upper Austria account to gain access to the full texts.
Registering in PRIMO gives you direct access to the electronic media listed in PRIMO, including remote access (= outside the FH).
DIRECT SEARCH IN DATABASES
Some (few) databases licenced by the FH Upper Austria are not or not completely listed in PRIMO. If you want to search in one of these databases, you will be given access via the access link provided in the respective database title. If you search remotely (= outside the FH), you will also be asked to log in with your FH OÖ account.
A comprehensive full text search is currently only possible via the search in the individual databases.
