Extended opening hours in KIB-labb and a new Information Desk (“Infopunkt”) for students
You have probably noticed that there is a lot going on at our facilities on the Solna campus. The goal is to create better learning environments for KI students.
At the same time, the library has made a few changes concerning some of the services offered.
We have extended the opening hours of KIB- labb! From now on, you are welcome to drop-in at KIB-labb between 11 AM and 16 PM on Monday to Friday in Solna as well as Huddinge. KIB-labb is an academic workshop during which librarians tutor students in e.g. information retrieval and management as well as how to cite the literature and create bibliographies.
In a few weeks, there will be more changes in Solna. When the renovation of the learning environment in BZ is completed, we will move the library information desk on floor 3 and Lyktan on floor 2 to a new information point called "Infopunkten” which has been created as a collaboration between Student Affairs, Faculty Office - Higher Education, Facilities Planning, the Information Technology Office and the University Library.
“Infopunkten” will act as a joint information desk for all activities in the BZ building and will be inaugurated on the 24th February 2012.

Scopus and HEED - two new databases
We have made some changes to our database selection for 2012. Two new databases have been added (Scopus and HEED) and two databases are no longer available (AMED and Derwent).
- Scopus is a comprehensive scientific, medical, technical and social science database. Scopus gives you access to nearly 19 500 titles from aprox. 5 000 publishers, 18 500 peer-reviewed journals (including open access journals), conference proceedings and a very large amount of patent records. For more detailed information about the content of Scopus go to the Content Coverage Guide.
- HEED – Health Economic Evaluation Database – contains information on studies of cost-effectiveness and other forms of economic evaluation of medicines and other treatments and medical interventions.
AMED and Derwent are no longer available due to several years of declining use.
However, the major part of the content in AMED is also available in Scopus. So if you are looking for information on alternative medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation and palliativ care - try Scopus!
