Information seeking guide for the students of Business

Guide to information seeking

Welcome!

This guide is developed for business students as a starting point in finding relevant information for research and tips for data retrieval.

With the help of this guide you'll learn to use different search services: library lists, e-books, e-journals and other information which can be found on the internet.

Take a good look at the guide and contact the library if you have something to ask or you face some difficulties! You can also ask for a personal guidance on the information retrieval.

  • find information about the availability of the books in library's collections
  • find links to Open Access e-books
  • renew your loans 
  • make requests to borrowed items

Login to the service with either your Haka ID or your library card number. HAKA ID (Centria email address) gives access to all the services and you can read licensed e-resources.
