Guidance
If you have trouble with information seeking in your master's thesis, book a personal guidance session:
- Book a workshop or a consultation (HelpJYU form)
- Personal consultations are for students in master's programmes who have participated in the information seeking class provided for you usually as part of your master's thesis seminar (or there isn't one) and who have a need for guidance despite studying the instructions.
Or email us, if you have a specific question! You can contact us at opetus@library.jyu.fi.
