How to use eFilm
To use eFilm you only have to meet two requirements, one depends on each user and the other has to do with the availability of your own contents. Currently, the eFilm catalog is available in Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Castilla y León, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Extremadura, Guadalajara, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra, Torrelodones and Vigo.
If you live in any of these regions you are in luck because libraries in those areas have the possibility of offering you eFilm The second requirement is the which we already discussed at the beginning, and it is nothing more than having in your possession a card that accredits you as a public library user.
Fulfilling those two premises, you just have to go to your library and ask them for your eFilm username and password to start using it, then you only have to enter the web and log in with the data that you have been provided to enjoy the complete catalog of this service.
