Our e-resources can still be accessed directly at the publishers’ sites in the university network or if in a remote access via the page libproxy.aalto.fi. It lists all of our biggest resources and directs to them via our proxy.

If trying to remotely use a resource which is not on the list (eg. individual journals), you can add the proxy to the url yourself; eg. if the address of the journal is 
http://iopscience.iop.org/1873-7005/
 
add libproxy.aalto.fi after the site address: 
http://iopscience.iop.org.libproxy.aalto.fi/1873-7005/

The session includes two presentations outlined below, followed by refreshments and snacks during an informal networking session, with a chance to continue discussion with the presenters.

“Writing a scientific paper and submitting to the right journal" by Petra van Steenbergen, Senior Editor for Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences.

Choosing a worth-while topic as well as a suitable journal and how to submit your article to a journal with a good chance of being accepted are the core topics of the first part of the session. The impact of open access and social networking will be discussed in this context. The talk will reference Springer’s portfolio of journals in your area of your choice as a starting point to choosing the right journal for your content.

“Why publish with Springer” by Timon Oefelein, Marketing Manager for North Western Europe, Springer.

Springer is not only one of the world’s largest STM book and journal publishers. But as this presentation shows, there are many benefits of publishing with Springer. Mostly notably, Springer uses a fast and reliable online technology to get your research published (and discovered) as quickly as possible. Second, Springer publishes in multiple formats for maximum distribution, readership, and user convenience.. And finally, we listen to our authors with a view to constantly improve our highly valued author and publishing services. The presentation includes a short overview of Springer’s open access publishing formats.

To use Aalto Direct you need to be a member of Aalto University staff and have an Aalto University library card. An internal mail address is also needed to deliver the book to you.

There are three options to choose from:

   1. If the book is available or "Not charged", we will lend the book and send it to you by internal mail.
   2. If the book has been borrowed by another customer, we will make a request and send the book to you when it is returned
   3. It is also possible to agree, that all the books you have reserved (using Aalto Direct or otherwise), will be delivered to you by internal mail

Aalto Direct covers book deliveries from all campus libraries: Arabia, Otaniemi and Töölö.
