Research support
Personal research consultation (45 min)
Are you writing your BA thesis, finishing your MA thesis, working on a PhD research article, or doing research for an exhibition? Are you struggling to find suitable materials and sources? Or have you already collected materials, but are overwhelmed by the pile, feeling that you are losing sight of the goal of your research? Then come to a personal research consultation!
The consultation offers personal advice and feedback on your research and research questions. We’ll sift through the resources of EKA library – including image databases containing millions of images, e-libraries containing hundreds of thousands of books, and the EKA library containing tens of thousands of paper books and magazines. You will get a fresh look on your research, receive tips, tricks, and hacks for continuing your research and access all the physical and digital content that the EKA library has to offer.
Book a consultation (45 min) at a time that suits you, by answering a few questions about your research. Consultations take place on Google Meet or on site at the EKA library, depending on your preference.
EKA Library ABC (45 min)
Why does EKA have a library? What services does the library offer in addition to lending books and magazines? How to find your way around the reading room shelves? How to use the e-catalog to find exactly what you need? What e-resources (databases, digital archives, etc.) does the EKA Library offer?
Book your session for your group. The minimum group size is 5.

Research Data Management
Research data are an integral part of practice-based research, increasing the quality, visibility, and impact of research and helping to meet the requirements of funders and publishers.
The Library provides advice on data management topics from planning data collection to archiving and reuse. For example:
- preparation and updating of a Data Management Plan (DMP);
- organising/structuring and documenting/describing data (metadata);
- long-term preservation, finding suitable formats and repositories;
- data visibility and publication opportunities (DOI)
– all in the context of good data management practices following the FAIR principles.
You can book an appointment for a consultation through the calendar or write to karin.oolu@artun.ee.
