Information Seeking Guide for Technology and IT

This guide will help you to find sources and proceed with information seeking in your studies in the New Industry and IT Institutes. These include the following subjects:

  • Automation and Robotics
  • Purchasing and Logistics Engineering 
  • ICT, Cyber Security, Software Development, AI & Data Analytics

The focus of the source material is on these subjects, and you can use this guide together with the general Information Seeking Compass.

When writing your thesis we also recommend the open self-learning material Information Seeking for Thesis Writers, which you can find in Moodle.

How to start?

A quick guide to information sources

  1. Are you looking for information on books either in print or electronic?  Go to the Janet Finna database to search!
  2. Wondering how do you find a course book and check its availability?  Search Janet Finna for a book either by author, title or their combination. See the Holdings information to find out in which campus library the book is available, and check the Shelf where it is placed (shelf number and the word after that).
  3. Looking for scientific articles but don't know where to search?  Do a quick search with Janet Finna's International Articles Search, and then select the Source (database) from which you continue to progress.
  4. Do you want to check if a certain journal or periodical can be found in Jamk library either in print or electronic?  Go to the Janet Finna, search by journal's name and select 'Title' or select Browse > Journals and articles to find international journals.
  5. Looking for a specific article?  See if you can find the journal in the Jamk library (point 4) or enter the title of the article in Janet Finna's search for international articles (point 3). The article could also be online free to read for instance in Google Scholar.
