Link resolver for e-journals is down on Wed 5th December

Link resolver for e-journals (SFX) is not working. This means that e-journals cannot be accessed via Nelli, Helka or the search facility on the Library home page. You can search e-journals with Google while using the University network. Databases and e-books can be accessed as usual.

The National Library and the software vendor are working to solve the problem. Unfortunately new interruptions are possible during the next few days.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

Printing from your own device now possible in main library

Members of the University of Helsinki can print to university printers from their own devices.

  • Click ”Add printers” on your right. The next time you log on, you will be able to choose previously added printers. Search for printers using the numbers indicated below (for some machines, an old street address may be shown)
Printer: Location:
244911 (printing from quota) 6th floor printer room
0055 (printing from quota) 5th floor printer room
244812 (printing from quota) 4th floor printer room
243228 (printing with copy card only) 6th floor printer room
0428738 (printing with copy card only) 4th floor printer room

 

  • Click the ”Go to printing view” tab and select a file from ”Browse”. The file must be in pdf or ps format, so you should start by converting your file.
  • If you use a copy card to print, put the card in the slot, open the print queue, select your print job (“Remote User”) and select “Release”.
  • You can also install wpr as a printer on your computer, and then you will be able to print files of any format without converting them to pdf or ps first.
  • Instructions available in Finnish only at http://www.helsinki.fi/helpdesk/ohjeet, Tulostus ja skannaus

You do not need to use wpr to print from workstations in the library or Aleksandria!
