Library cancels subscriptions to the Journals Portal and Elsevier ScienceDirect

Details about the JAMK library’s journals have been available via several separate systems. To make finding journals easier, the library has decided to give up the Journals Portal. In the future, electronic journals will be available through the Nelli Portal’s Find e-Journal function and the details of the printed journals in the library catalogue Janet.

The library has also decided to cancel the subscription of the multidisciplinary Elsevier Science database due to a considerable price increase. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers and are looking for a compensatory solution.

The Journals Portal and Elsevier ScienceDirect will no longer be accessible in 2012.

We would like to remind you of the library’s most recent network services:
Johtamisen käsikirjat,
Neuwonen 4.10 – viestijän verkkotuutori, and

Electronic theses to Theseus

Electronic theses to Theseus

From the beginning of April, JAMK’s electronic theses are published at Theseus. Theseus is both a database and an electronic library combining the theses of the Universities of Applied Sciences on the internet.

A thesis is converted to PDF format and saved to Theseus by using an online form by a student. While saving, permission for web publication is given; no written permission is needed anymore. It is possible to choose a Creative Commons license for different kinds of rights.

Instructions on converting and saving the thesis will be available on the library’s website in April. At the moment, Theseus provides the newest theses of several Universities of Applied Sciences. JAMK’s theses can also be searched on the JaNet library database and Nelli portal as before.
