Training

Effective and responsible RDM is an integral part and essential requirement of good scientific practices and research skills. BSc/MSc/eMBA students and PhD students follow different data management processes with different instructions and templates. See these two flowcharts and processes outlined in Data management processes at Hanken .

The Library offers help and training in RDM for students as support for learning, teaching, and research. Our assistance with RDM covers the topics on:

  • writing and updating a data management plan (DMP),
  • how to handle personal data in studies and research,
  • data collection and organizing,
  • data storage, backup and transferal,
  • metadata production,
  • data archival and preservation, and 
  • data reusing.

Training in RDM can be integrated into standard seminars or courses, individual guidance, online guides, or independent training sessions such as the 69990 Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science Doctoral Course in Moodle. Teachers can order our services when needed. We will customize the training in cooperation with the teacher to fit the need for the particular seminar or course.

Open science has become such a significant movement that it has become important and also necessary that we are part of it.

The Library offers support and training in different aspects of Open science including open access , open data , open education , and open scholarship culture , and answers the questions concerning:

  • How to publish open access to your scholarly publications?
  • How and where to open and publish your research (meta)data in line with the FAIR data principles?
  • How and where to open your teaching materials? Where to find open educational resources (OERs)? How to reuse them?
  • How can you improve the visibility and impact of your research?

Training in Open science can be integrated into standard seminars or courses, individual guidance, online guides, or independent training sessions such as the 69990-E Open science and Research data management (RDM) doctoral course  in Moodle. Teachers can order our services when needed. We will customize the training in cooperation with the teacher to fit the need for the particular seminar or course.

The library offers training in information retrieval for the students. This includes:

  • training in information retrieval, integrated with standard courses
  • independent training sessions on various topics
  • individual guidance
  • online guides.

The goal is for as large a part as possible of the training to be integrated into regular courses and seminars. Teachers can order our services when needed. We wish to customize the training in cooperation with the teacher to fit the need for the particular course.

Examples of topics for training session may be: 

  • search words and search strategy
  • how to find relevant data bases and information sources
  • critical evaluation of results (evaluation of search results, identifying scholarly sources)
  • referencing and referencing software (Mendeley)

You may also appoint training in particular databases or in reference management using Mendeley.

Copyright and licensing

Our proxy server makes it possible for students to use these e-books even when not physically at Hanken.

Search e-books

1. in the search portal Hanna by narrowing your search with "E-books" or
2. directly in the e-book collections

Check the license!

From experience, we know that e-books with single user license in Hanna are poorly suited as course books. If you still want to use such an e-book for your course, please, contact the library so that we may investigate the possibility of extending the license.

 

Questions about e-books? Please, contact
Marlene Backman

Using Kopiostos copying licence you are allowed to scan printed publications and copy text and images from open websites. The licence applies to both domestic and foreign materials. Only scanned chapters/articles need to be notified to Kopiosto. If they are in Hanken's databases, you must link directly to the article/chapter.

With text and images, the licence allows you to

  • Photocopy: 20 pages per publication, a maximum of half of the publication.
  • Scan:
    • 20 pages per publication, a maximum of 20 % of the publication.
    • A scientific article published in a scientific journal in its entirety.
  • Print out from the Internet: 20 pages per digital source.
  • Copy and save legally and freely available online material:
    • 20 images or A4-sized pages per website.
    • A scientific article published in a scientific journal in its entirety.
    • 20 pages per e-book; a maximum of 20 % of the e-book.

The digital copies have to be reported to Kopiosto. As a teacher you can do this yourself at Kopiosto's web page (reporting service only in Finnish). Please contact the library if you need any help: library@hanken.fi.

The digital licence is an agreement made by Arene (Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences), UNIFI (Universities Finland) and Kopiosto (Finnish Copyright Society).

License agreements with database suppliers usually don't permit redistribution. This means that uploading digital copies (i.e. pdf-files of articles) to Moodle is not allowed, even if password protected. Instead you should give the permanent link to the article, proceeded by the address to Hanken's proxy server. By doing this you will ensure:

  • to use the e-resources legally and in accordance with the license agreements
  • to give the student's remote access to the articles
  • to give correct database user statistics to the library.

Construct the permanent links as follows:

1. Start with the Hanken proxy server address as a prefix, in order to make the articles accessible also as remote access out of the Hanken building

NOTE! Links to e-books on the ProQuest Ebook Central and VitalSource Bridge platforms should not have a proxy prefix since the services have Shibboleth login.

2. Add the permanent link to the article. In some databases (EBSCO) the permanent link is called permalink. You can just copy the permalink and add it to the prefix.

The permanent link is also often a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number. The DOI number is constructed of a prefix http://dx.doi.org/ followed by a set of numbers

The library is happy to help with compiling reading material lists with links to the sources.

You can also scan printed publications and copy text and images from open websites.

Questions about creating permanent links? Please contact
library@hanken.fi

In the library's LibGuide on Copyright you find information about how you are allowed to use different kind of materials in your teaching.

Questions can be directed to library@hanken.fi

Resources

It is the examinator's and the department's responsibility to inform the library on time, which course books to acquire. The department will be charged all costs caused by changes and complementary additions made after the dates mentioned below.

Checklist for teachers

  1. Course books that need to be available for the students in the library or as e-books must be registered in Sisu, not in Moodle, when the course planning is done in March.
     
  2. If you want to use an e-book on your course, you should contact the library (library@hanken.fi) before you choose the title, since the license terms for libraries differ from those for private persons. We also recommend to check the online library Perlego if there are any titles suitable for your subject. The e-copies have unlimited access for the users.
     
  3. In Moodle you can link to articles and course material that do not need to be available in the library. Follow the instructions for how to link to articles and e-books. Note that you are not allowed to download pdf versions of the articles into Moodle without reporting to Kopiosto .
     
  4. You can report additional or missing course book information no later than the dates listed below:

    Deadline for the academic year 2024-2025
    S1: 7.6.2024
    Period 1: 14.6.2024
    Period 2: 20.9.2024
    Period 3: 13.12.2024
    Period 4: 7.2.2025
    S2: 11.4.2025

  5. Use the form for reporting your course books. Be prepared to fill in the following information: course number, course name, subject, examiner, author, publishing year, title, edition/editions (if available), examination book or supplementary reader and how many attendees there will be if it is a new course. The Library will then change the information of the course literature in Sisu.
     
  6. Remember to inform the library about new courses, cancelled courses or courses that move to another period as soon as there is a department council decision available.
