You should begin by identifying the central information resources in your research field. For more advice on how to identify them, please see the subject guides.
Aalto-Primo search service also provides different approaches to information based on scientific fields or resource types.
Using just one database rarely offers enough information on a topic, so you should use multiple resources to gather enough information for your work.
Which information resource should you use to retrieve the information you need?
Examples of where to look for information are presented below.
Aalto-Primo search service provides access to e-journals, e-books, reference databases, image databases, dictionaries and collection databases available at Aalto University. Some open access information resources are also available in Aalto-Primo, but for a majority of resources the use is restricted to Aalto University's campus area.
Aalto University's students and personnel can use Aalto-Primo remotely outside the University network. To access all the resources available in Aalto-Primo remotely, please log in to the portal with your Aalto IT identifier.
When you are using Google Scholar within the protected Aalto University network, the search results include direct links to electronic full text articles, provided that they are licensed by the Aalto University Learning Centre.
