Information resources for Adventure and Outdoor Education: Finding books and e-books

Humak Library basics

There is a library at all Humak campuses. The contact details and opening hours for all the libraries can be found at Humak Finna. Humak library has both print and electronic collections. Use Humak Finna to search across all of the library’s collections. Nurmijärvi campus has the best collections in adventure and outdoor education. You can narrow your search in Humak Finna and choose to focus your search on a specific library's collection. If you need material that is only available on another Humak campus library, please use the order form found on record information pages in Humak Finna.

If you want to search onli online material you can narrow down the search to e-books only either by choosing Narrow Seach - Available online or Verkkoaineistot from the organization part. These give slightly different results.
