More about Nelli portal
Since it includes most of the electronic materials which the
library subscribes to, why the data is not fully linked to
Teemu?
• Because Nelli’s infrastructure (National Electric Library)
is upheld by FinELib (Finnish Electric Library) not Aalto
university library.
• FinELib’s mission is to facilitate the use of electronic
materials throughout all finnish libraries by negotiating
the contracts for the materials and providing the
individually subscribed materials for the libraries.
• Aalto university library chooses the materials and links
them to Aalto’s own Nelli.
• Nelli portal has a functionality far greater than Teemu’s.
Nelli portal and SFX-linking
• Nelli portal’s functionality is largely based on SFX-linking
service (
). A single reference:

Secondary and primary sources in Nelli
portal (a simplification)
Secondary sources in local collections (Teemu & Tenttu):

Teemu-catalog, which includes the
The books located and acquired
references of the individual books

found in the campus library’s collection. example).
Secondary sources in electronic collections (Nelli portal):
Secondary sources
Primary sources
Nelli portal itself is a secondary source but it
also contains large reference databases like ISI
and Scopus, which are very useful for scanning
vast amounts of article references. They have
other interesting features as well.
The full-text articles
provided by the full-text
databases.
Some interesting functions of ISI
and Scopus databases
ISI :
• Journal Citations Reports (ISI) - look up a impact factor
and citations collected by a single journal.
Scopus:
• Tenure track publication analysis - total amount of
authors references and h index, etc.
• Pearl growing search tactic through Scopus and SFXlinking.
Some important functions of Nelli
See Nelli quick guide for additional information
• QuickSearch: with QuickSearch you can search from a
predefined or self made sets of resources (QuickSets).
• Databases: search the Nelli portal for suitable
databases or other resources. Press -link to get more
information about a resource.
• e-journals: browse electronic journals and search them
by name, ISSN number and category.
• MetaSearch: a tool that simplifies the process of doing a
modified multiple database search.
• My Space: save your references, resources and search
histories. Requires a log in with Aalto username and pw.

Using the library’s electronic collection
through Google Scholar
part I
http://scholar.google.com/
Set up SFX in Scholar Preferences -> Library Links -> Select ”Aalto

Using the library’s electronic collection
through Google Scholar
part II
After setting up the correct library links you are able to
use the SFX-linking services through Google Scholar.
This link has the same functionality as the
SFX-links in Nelli portal. If Google
Scholar is used from off campus, an
authentication (Aalto University username
and a password) is required before
access to full texts is granted.

Forthcoming changes
• Alli(a working title) - a unified local collection catalog
(quite similar to Teemu), but which includes the local
collections from all Aalto campus libraries (Arabia,
Otaniemi and Töölö). Alli is planned to be taken into use
during spring semester 2012.
• Aaltodoc - a unified document repository quite similar to
Inssi-database found in Tenttu, but which possibly
helds, for example, candidate, master and licenciate
theses from all Aalto schools. It will also include other
full-text materials, for example articles and conference
papers. Aaltodoc is planned to be taken into use during
autumn semester 2011.

THANK YOU!
Staff and interlibrary loans from the
metropolitan area libraries
• The same set of rules apply to the staff made interlibrary
loans from the metropolitan area libraries as to other
staff made interlibrary loans. So you should be able to
have books from, for example, Helsinki university’s
library delivered into your study without any fees.
• However when making the interlibrary loan make sure
you remember to put your responsibility code and inner
postal address! I might be also a good idea not to put
your student number there at all.
Next searching for scientific information
course:
• Will be held 8.11. (8.30-10.00) in Maari-B
• Enroll to the course via WebOodi (the
enrollment opens two weeks before the course
date).
• Contains also a Refworks-section
