The Finna.fi service provides access to materials, such as books and theses, from all Finnish universities, universities of applied sciences and public libraries. Finna.fi also provides access to some Finnish-language journal articles. For example, Institutional Repository for the Government (Valto), the Library of Open Educational Resources (aoe.fi) and museum materials can also be searched through finna.fi.

Finna.fi is a national information search service that provides free access to the materials and collection catalogues of around a hundred Finnish archives, libraries and museums.

There are several Finnas:

Organization-specific Finna search services are the primary information retrieval service for your organization.
The national Finna.fi service connects organizational Finnas and acts as a national shared catalogue.
It is recommended that you prrimarily use Laurea Finna when searching for materials from 3AMK libraries.

It is possible to log in to the Finna.fi service with Laurea username and password. After logging in you can, among other things, collect your favorites in your favorites folder.

The search features are the same as in Laurea Finna.

You can limit the search results by type of material (books, theses, etc.), or to online material only; publication date, language and choice of organization are also available as search criteria.

Note! All theses from universities may not necessarily be linked to the Finna.fi site. If you want to look specifically at the theses of a particular university, you should search the publication archive of that university. Publication archives can be found under the theses tab of the LibGuides resource guides.
