Helsinki University Library welcomes another group of European colleagues for staff exchange week taking place in early June 2014. ISEW Library 2014 is the third occasion Helsinki University Library is organizing this excellent opportunity to learn and exchange ideas about the state-of-art library services and future of academic libraries.
The library received an astonishing number of 74 applications for its ISEW Library 2014 and thus faced a cruel job selecting only 15 participants from a multitude of excellent ones. During the selection process our ISEW team aimed at ensuring the largest geographic, organizational and professional variety in the group of ISEW 2014 participants.
The library’s ISEW team is already looking forward to meeting all the enthusiastic colleagues selected for the ISEW programme in Helsinki and doing our best to ensure that the International Staff Exchange Week for library professionals will be worthwhile and memorable.
Benchmarking can be great fun – stay tuned for more updates!
Library printers and copier machines will be replaced with new Canon devices during February. The Main Library’s printers and copier machines at Kaisa House are replaced on Feb 17 – Feb 21.
Use of the new printers requires registration with your University username and an identifying card. Register on a Canon printer with a card reader. HSL travel cards or Lyyra cards with an NFC payment feature can be used as identifying cards. Unigrafia sells its own identifying cards for students at its quick print locations. Register while the replacement is underway so that you can use the new printers as soon as they have been installed.
For now, Unigrafia will keep a few multi-function printers that use the old-style copy card reader. These old printers will be available at the following central locations on different campuses:
The databases have all the same features and functions as in earlier versions of the product, but it is now faster, easier to use, and the product is now attractively packaged in a new user interface.

Today Helsinki University Library received a significant donation from the Embassy of Mexico, as we received some 350 books by the high education institutions of Mexico.
Some of the books donated to HULib by The Embassy of Mexico
The topics of this scientific literature include poetry, culture, sciences, history, politics, and economy. The donation is made to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Resident Embassies in Mexico City and Helsinki.
