Quick help for information search (for Myllypuro students)

We can help you with your information search troubles, whether they are big or small.

Information services

Support for literature searching and database demonstrations are free of charge for students and staff of Metropolia and Metropolia RDI projects. Information services and on-demand training in information retrieval are subject to a charge for external customers.

Extensive information retrieval

Information specialists can be commissioned to carry out more extensive information retrieval for projects. These include e.g. systematic literature searches carried out with a particular method. Extensive information retrieval is planned in cooperation with the project and at the project’s expense. When planning a project, you should allocate resources for any extensive information retrieval you may need.

 What takes up time and resources in extensive information retrieval?

• Information retrieval planning carried out by the information specialist and e.g. the project manager together
• Sufficient testing of searches and selection of suitable databases
• Performing and documenting searches
• If Metropolia does not offer a required database, the information retrieval can be ordered from some other university library.

Consult an information specialist for further details. You can contact us by email kirjasto@metropolia.fi
