ANSWERS 3.3

The exercise searches can be done in multiple ways – the answers below are examples of the possible solutions.

  1. Type in Helka’s search box: Kalat Biological psychology. There are several versions of the book in Helka, because there are several editions of the book and it is available both electronically and in print. 
  2. Type in Helka’s search box: “Research methods in human rights” Smith. View the book’s location information: “Hc 4th floor Oikeustiede 01.9 Research”. The book comprises articles written by different people, meaning it does not have only one author. That is why the book can be found on the shelf according to the title of the work. The title of the book begins with the word “Research”, so the book is alphabetised on the shelf under the letter “r”.
