Study information seeking and management online!
Do you need help in finding sources for your master’s thesis but don’t have time to take a course? Try our new online open course on information seeking that is targeted at international students writing their master’s thesis.
The course is produced by Helsinki University Library and it is currently a beta version.
- Information Seeking and Management for Thesis Writers
- Library offers also an online course for Finnish speaking bachelor level students: Tutkielman tekijän tiedonhankinta.
The courses are open for everybody who want to polish their skills in information seeking and management.
You can look at the course materials as a guest but completing the assignments require a login. You can either:
- Log in with your organisation ID (University of Helsinki or other Finnish higher education institutions) using Haka login.
- Create a user account on the MOOC site and log in with this ID.
Please note that if you have already joined courses by using user account and want to start now using your organisation ID (Haka) instead, you need to add yourself to the course again. We do not recommend you to do this in the middle of the course, because your previous assignments are only visible with your previously created ID!
The courses are open for the time being.
Experience a new way of learning and be surprised what you’ll find!
Updated 24.10.2017: added information regarding Haka login.

SciVal Trends allows researchers to search current scientific trends. By choosing an existing research area, or defining one of your own, this tool provides up-to-date information on scientific research. SciVal Trends displays information in a variety of ways: by institutions, countries, authors, journals and keyphrases (including a useful keyphrase diagram in the summary section). As such, researchers can find the current scientific trends that might lead to a new research strategy, opportunities to collaborate, or help identify the recent work of peers in their research area.
Please be aware that you will need to register for a SciVal account in order to fully access this resource.
The trial for SciVal Trends ends on 17.10.2017.
