Survey about the digital resource materials of the National Library of Finland
Have you ever used the digital resource materials of the National Library of Finland or wondered how to use them? Would you like to contribute to the development of future research services of the National Library?
If yes, now is the chance to take part in a survey to develop researcher service concept called Mining Lab (Louhos).
The survey has 20 questions and takes about 10 to 15 minutes. None of the questions is obligatory. The survey is open until 15th May 2020.
The respondents have an opportunity to participate in a raffle in order to win a museum card or publications of the National Library.
You can also participate in the development of our research services even if you are not yet familiar with the digital resources and services or if you do not have time to answer the survey. In this case, please contact liisa.napara.helsinki.fi.
Research services of the National Library are being developed in the Digital Open Memory (DOM) project. The aim is to develop interaction between researchers and the digital collections of the National Library and create a unified service path for researchers as in international Library Labs. Lab type services are designed to bring together researchers, library research services, research materials and to promote collaboration between them.
