Large moves are being made on the K2 floor of the library as the collections are transferred to the K3 floor. The collections include Asian and African studies, classical studies and theology.
The map application in Helka will be updated as soon as the change is ready. The customer service on the third floor will help with any questions.
By 30.6.2016 the K2 floor will no longer be a part of the library. The working spaces there will be moved to other floors.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the move.
The reservations of the student group areas in Aleksandria move from the varaus.it.helsinki.fi system to Office 365 as of 1 January 2016. The old varaus.it.helsinki.fi will be shut down in January 2016.
In Office 365, the reservations are made using the dedicated calendar where students have the right to make reservations.
Reservations already made for year 2016 are not transferred automatically to Office 365. If necessary, the IT Center contacts the people who have already made such reservations.
The elevators to the Kaisa-library from Kaisaniemenkatu and metrostation are out of order.

You can only enter the library from Fabianinkatu and through the café on Vuorikatu.

Service for the University of Helsinki and HUCH researchers
A click on the logo guides you to the order form!
HUPS is a Helsinki University Library’s service for researchers, using which the Helsinki University and HUCH staff can order books and copies of journal articles free of charge from the Helsinki University Library’s collections.
The material is delivered directly to researcher and the researcher therefore does not have to retrieve it from the library personally.
Some researchers have already become regular users of the service.
Literature arrives in the mailbox
Trial of the HUPS service started in May 2015. In half a year, over 300 orders have been made from all over the University. Requests have mostly been for article copies, little more than a third of the orders have been books. As a rule, orders have been delivered within a few days.
From the start of next year self-service for reservation pickups will be extended to include Kaisa House and the Viikki Campus Library. The Kumpula campus library introduced self-service pickups in September 2014.
The Meilahti Campus Library will not, for now, introduce self-service pickups, in Terkko reservations will still be available at the service desk.
Reserved materials are shelved according to customer name
The reservation fee for textbooks will be added to your account when the reserved item becomes available for pickup.
If you do not wish to have your reservations on an open shelf under your name, please notify any Helka library, and you can continue to pick up reservations at the service desk.

There will be a service break on university’s room reservation system Timmi on Tuesday, November 24th. The estimated duration of the break is from 8 am until noon.
During the break the system will be updated and can not be used. That means reservations for Kaisa-Library group work rooms can not be made or existing ones updated.
