Library terminals to be enhanced in Helsinki University Library

From June 2018 onwards, a renewed library terminal will be available for testing in the Kaisa House (4th floor) and, after the summer break, in the campus libraries in Meilahti and Viikki. Feedback on the new terminals will also be collected from customers during this time.

The new library terminals will allow anyone to search and read books and articles on Helka, and digital theses from the University of Helsinki on the E-Thesis repository. The library terminals will also provide users with access to the Helka database’s customer functions, such as saving your searches and favourites as well as saving references or forwarding them to an email address.

University of Helsinki students and staff will be able to use the terminals to log in to their personal desktops with their university IDs.

Print with the copy card

Articles, references and extracts of e-books can also be printed on the new terminals. Printing options are limited to double-sided black and white. Each terminal has its own designated printer whose address is readily available in the print menu. The multi-function devices that are used for printing are not always located in close proximity to the terminals. Instructions on where the multi-function device is located can be found near the terminals. Printing requires a Unigrafia copy card which can be purchased from the library’s customer service desk.

In addition to printing, you can also use the terminals to save articles, references and extracts of e-books onto a memory stick.

The library terminals cannot be used for browsing the internet or working on your personal files.

Guest computers to be phased out

The new terminals will replace all older library terminals and guest computers during the 2018 autumn term. This means that users from outside the University will need to use their own devices to work on their personal files or search for information on the internet. The library’s customer service desk will still provide users with login details for accessing the University’s wireless visitor network with their own computers and devices.

Guest computers are being phased out due to a technical change in the University’s network management system. As a result of this change, the network environment for guests will be terminated. This change will also allow the library to focus on its core service for users from outside the University: providing access to scientific information and University of Helsinki theses and dissertations.

To give your feedback on the new library terminals, use the library’s feedback form.

Pop Up Event of the Kumpula Campus Library’s renovation on Wed April 25th at 1 pm – 3 pm

The library is changing in Kumpula – both in its premises and in its functions.

Come by to Physicum’s lobby to learn more

The Helsinki University Library, together with the University Student Services, organizes a pop-up event for students. Come and inquire about the details and give last-minute ideas.

  • Wednesday April 25th at 1 pm – 3 pm in the Physicum’s lobby (Kumpula campus, Gustaf Hällströminkatu 2A)
  • Event page on Facebook (in Finnish)

What is this all about?

The library’s facility upgrade project is connected with a broader project that involves the Faculty of Science and the University’s Student Services.

The library’s aim is to create a versatile and flexible learning environment on the first floor, as well as in a space approximately half of the current area on the second floor.

The first floor of the Kumpula Campus Library re-opens at the beginning of the autumn semester. The electronic exam room is moved from the library’s premises to Chemicum, and there will be some resuffle of group study and reading rooms. Also the library’s book loan and return counters will be refurbished.

The second floor will open later in the autumn. There will be researchers’ workrooms, bookable counseling facilities and study space. You’ll also find student services from the renewed library.
