The purpose of this guide is to showcase useful resources and tools to help students in their research and thesis writing process. The guide focuses on books, journals and databases that have been acquired by the KAMK library but also includes resources on the Internet.
Before you start searching for information in the numerous databases, it is useful to plan your search keywords. Write down which keywords are relevant to your topic and also list possible synonyms. You can utilize different vocabularies in this, for example MOT Dictionaries or Finto.fi.
It is also advised to think your topic broadly and not to narrow down your search results too much particularly in the beginning of the information seeking task. If the search parameters are too narrow, many relevant sources might not be found.
Thesis related information seeking guidance
Scheduling: When work on the thesis commences and the topic is known.
