Library's guide for new employees

Use Hanna to find literature

Hanken's search service Hanna gives you access to a wide range of materials through only one search. Through one and the same search box, you can reach:

  • printed materials (only materials available in Helsinki), and
  • electronic materials, such as e-books, theses, scholarly articles in full text, and databases.

Watch the video below to get started using Hanna. The tutorial (1:33) is made at the Hanken library.

Note that staff and students in Vaasa use the Vaasa city library's search service to search for printed books in the library.

E-books

At Hanken library, you have access to more than 1 million e-books via various e-book platforms including Perlego and Ebook central.

Note that not all e-books are available through the Hanna search service. Some books are only found directly from the e-book platform's user interface.
