Helsingin yliopiston kirjasto – Helsingfors universitets bibliotek – Helsinki University Library
Helda, Digital Repository of the University of Helsinki will be updated to a new version on Tuesday 24.7.2018. During the update, the underlying DSpace software will be upgraded to version 5.5.
The update causes a downtime in Helda. The break is on Tuesday 24.7.2018 afternoon and takes a couple of hours (estimated 2-4 hours).
Digital Course Library DiKK will be updated to a new version on Wednesday 12.4. at noon. The update should not cause any interruption in the use of the service.
With the update DiKK’s user interface is overhauled and the service is transferred to new dspace3.hulib.helsinki.fi server.
You should report any problems or defects in DiKK after the update directly to Samu Kytöjoki.
The service break in Helka-database is now over. If you encounter any problems in the new version, please report them to us by email at library@helsinki.fi.
The service break in Helka-database still continues on certain parts of the system due to reasons outside of the library. Because of the prolongation of the break, all loans with due dates on 11.1. – 16.1. have been set to expire on 17.1.
You can log in to Helka-database once again with the default PIN code 1234, if you haven’t changed your pin code.
Helsinki University Library’s open data web service api.hulib.helsinki.fi offers the vast majority of the library’s data in easy-to-use JSON format. In addition to library catalog data, the service contains data of University of Helsinki disciplines and library opening hours. The APIs are documented in Swagger specifications.
Citizens and businesses can retrieve library’s data from the service for personal or commercial purposes. For example, we hope to see new mobile services based on our data. The service will be expanded and developed further in the future. We are planning to open data of Helda, as well as University’s research groups‘ publication data through the service.
The service was implemented by the Helsinki University Library’s application development group. Helsinki University Library has long been a pioneer in the application of information technology, but the current closed library system prevents the library catalog data from appearing in search engines such as Google. The current library system does not provide any tools for opening the data. The upcoming new library system should have built-in support for open APIs.
The course is an introduction to information sources and seeking information in the University of Helsinki. It is suitable for anybody writing an essay and also for those who are taking the ICT Driving Licence (particularly part 4, Information Seeking).
