It takes only HUPS and library material is on researcher’s desk!

Service for the University of Helsinki and HUCH researchers

HUPS
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.

Place an order here!

Order can be made by using this form.

You will find the form by following the HUPS logo on the library’s website, on Flamma-intranet, in Terkko Navigator and in ResearchGuides.

In the near future HUPS-logo will appear also in your search results, when searching library resources on the Library’s website.

You can also make a HUPS-request easily from the SFX-link resolver.

You still have time…

hurry

Next year the funding of the Helsinki University Library is cut more than 2 million euros compared to the year 2015. Due to the large savings more than twenty databases and ten reference works are unsubscribed for the year 2016. However, there are still a few weeks left to use those resources. Lists of unsubscribed databases in research areas of City Centre Campus and Kumpula, Meilahti and Viikki.
