ISEW Library 2014 Attracted Dozens of Applicants
Helsinki University Library welcomes another group of European colleagues for staff exchange week taking place in early June 2014. ISEW Library 2014 is the third occasion Helsinki University Library is organizing this excellent opportunity to learn and exchange ideas about the state-of-art library services and future of academic libraries.
The library received an astonishing number of 74 applications for its ISEW Library 2014 and thus faced a cruel job selecting only 15 participants from a multitude of excellent ones. During the selection process our ISEW team aimed at ensuring the largest geographic, organizational and professional variety in the group of ISEW 2014 participants.
The library’s ISEW team is already looking forward to meeting all the enthusiastic colleagues selected for the ISEW programme in Helsinki and doing our best to ensure that the International Staff Exchange Week for library professionals will be worthwhile and memorable.
Benchmarking can be great fun – stay tuned for more updates!
Printers and copier machines are replaced in the Main Library on Feb 17 – Feb 21
Library printers and copier machines will be replaced with new Canon devices during February. The Main Library’s printers and copier machines at Kaisa House are replaced on Feb 17 – Feb 21.
Use of the new printers requires registration with your University username and an identifying card. Register on a Canon printer with a card reader. HSL travel cards or Lyyra cards with an NFC payment feature can be used as identifying cards. Unigrafia sells its own identifying cards for students at its quick print locations. Register while the replacement is underway so that you can use the new printers as soon as they have been installed.
For now, Unigrafia will keep a few multi-function printers that use the old-style copy card reader. These old printers will be available at the following central locations on different campuses:
Minerva library K2 (K224)
Kaisa House
– level K4 (K4/004)
– 2nd floor (2021)
– 7th floor (7053)
