Survey on the use of printed periodicals in Kumpula 2.3.-27.3.

Kumpula campus library does a follow-up survey on the use of printed journals. The statistics are used in planning future acquisitions.

You will find trolleys near the shelves and tables next to the copy machines. Please return the periodical you used to them and not to the shelves: in this way you help us to gather information on their use.

The new acquisitions of periodicals are mostly e-publications available via the university’s network. E-journals are available for all customers in HU libraries. You can make an acquisition proposal here.
