The helpdesk is available in Quantum Helsinki:

Hanken students and staff have access to financial databases. The databases are only available to Hanken staff and students!
In this LibGuide, you will find out which databases are available and how to access them. Since all databases use English as their working language, this guide will also be in English to avoid any confusion regarding the databases' special features.
Access: In the database tabs ↗ above, you will find the name of each database and how to access them. Some are only available in the Quantum computer room (Helsinki and Vaasa have their own computer rooms), while others can be accessed remotely with a personal account.
Data: The database descriptions also indicate what type of data is available in each database. If you need databases or datasets beyond what Hanken offers, no acquisitions will be made except at the end of the year, and even then only for research projects. No additional databases or datasets will be acquired for individual Hanken students.
Hankens studerande och personal har tillgång till finansialla databaser. Databaserna är endast tillgängliga för Hankens personal och studerande!
I denna Libguide får du reda på vilka databaser är tillgängliga och hur du kommer åt dem. Eftersom alla databaser har som arbetspråk engelska kommer denna guide också att vara på engelska så att det inte blir några oklarheter för databasernas special funktioner.
Tillgång: I databas flikarna ↗ ovan hittar du namnet av databasen och hur du får tillgång till dem. Vissa är endast tillgängliga i Quantum datasalen (Helsingfors och Vasa har sina egna datasalar) medan andra kommer du åt på distans med personligt konto.
Data: I databasbeskrivningen står det också vilken sorts data som finns i de olika databaserna. Om du har behov av databaser eller datasets utöver det som Hanken erbjuder så kommer inga anskaffningar att göras förutom i slutet av året och även då endast för forskningsprojekt. Inga extra databaser eller datasets skaffas för enskilda Hanken studerande.
Note: Downloading data from Bloomberg is subject to limitations. If you need to retrieve large datasets, contact the quantum help-desk, we can help you identify the best sources and methods!
