Elsevier author workshop is full

There is no more room in the Elsevier workshop and unfortunately no larger lecture halls are available for that time. We will try to arrange another workshop as soon as possible.

Elsevier author workshop

Elsevier will hold an author workshop from 9-12 on Tuesday, April 12th in lecture hall E in the main building in Otaniemi.

Author Workshops are aimed at young scientists and provide guidelines on how to publish 'A world class paper'. The content of this 2.5 - 3 hrs. lecture includes - among others - the following topics: 'What to do before writing', 'The language of the manuscript', and 'The structure of the manuscript', tips on 'submitting your article' as well as 'plagiarism'.  Elsevier is offering this lecture, with the aim to present to interested (junior) scientists and PhD students of ALL disciplines insights how editors and reviewers look at their manuscripts which may help to get their manuscripts accepted in leading international journals.

ITU-R Recommendations now in free use

The International Telecommunication Union, ITU, has set free access to the standards on radiocommunication (ITU-R). The fulltext recommendations can now be downloaded anywhere, so it is no longer necessary to visit the library to gain access.

Reminder about using Myilibray ebooks

Note when using MyiLibrary books:
The Myilibrary books are easily locked from use due to suspected breaches of copyright. The following instructions were given to ensure continued use of the books:

Printing: Do not try to print more then copyright allows. The limit is given as you select the Print Multiple Pages function.

Browsing: If you want to move quickly ahead or behind in the book use the Go To Page function or the Table of Contents. Browsing quickly with the Previous and Next functions can cause the book to be locked, as if the pages are turned quicker than they can be looked at automated downloading is suspected. The Previous and Next functions can be used when reading or browsing the book at a reasonable rate.

By abiding by these recommendations we can improve access to these books. Hopefully no more books will be locked right before exams!

Aalto log-in at DawsonEra

The DawsonEra ebooks are now accessed with Aalto-login. This causes changes in the ebook links in Teemu, but those should be updated by Moday. Until then, the platform can be accessed through Nelli.
