International Library

Our staff is also ready to serve the students of the degree programmes with instruction in English, including students with diverse linguistic or cultural backgrounds. International students can also participate in the briefing on library services provided at the beginning of the academic year.

We hope that our versatile collection of foreign publications will ease your everyday life. You can search for the library’s books, journals, standards, and multimedia on the JaNet library database. Electronic books and journals are available via the Nelli portal. You can access JAMK’s network or international resources on the Nelli portal with your personal network user name and password whenever and wherever you want. These resources are useful also if you study or work abroad.

You can improve your information seeking skills through the elective course Specialized Information Seeking (5 ECTS credits), taught in English. We apply the international objectives of information literacy in our instruction.

The JAMK library is part of a worldwide library network. Libraries jointly acquire data systems and databases, distribute interlibrary loans, and contribute to societal decision-making in different organisations. The library also cooperates with international publishers and other suppliers.
