Helsingin yliopiston kirjasto – Helsingfors universitets bibliotek – Helsinki University Library
A workshop is held every Tuesday (9-10 am) in Kumpula campus library teaching room. Come and ask about library services and the usage of information services!
• how to find the textbooks I need?
• how to use the electronic resources in the University?
• what and where are the subject based services provided by the library?
Welcome to the workshop. NO PREREGISTRATION NEEDED.
The workshop is bilingual (fin-eng).
The library´s digitization is evolving and now printed materials are, especially in Kumpula, just a small part of our collections. In addition to full coverage in ResearchGuides, all campus fields are now also listed in the BookNavigator e-book service!
It complements the existing Helka catalogue by offering a modern, easy to use, and mobile friendly way of browsing the library´s e-book collections.
You can browse e-books by release date, popularity or even tags. Field subcategories are still under development and will be updated throughout the semester.
Information seeking for essay writers: A two hour in depth-workshop in the computer class for writers of longer essays will be offered on Wednesday 30th of September at 10-12 AM in computer class 6060 at the Main Library, Kaisa House (Fabianinkatu 30).
Enroll via WebOodi search code 99914 (HU students) or by email: kristina.weimer(at)helsinki.fi.
The Helsinki University staff and students and Open University staff and students may participate in open courses free of charge. Otherwise, see the price list.
KRpia is a full-text collection of Korean research articles, historical resources, reference works, etc.
Feedback as comment or by e-mail: e-library@helsinki.fi
The new library ResearchGuides sites gather a curated selection of field specific library services under one website. These sites are aimed primarily for students and staff. Starting this semester all fields from the Kumpula campus are covered.
These sites will continue to evolve throughout the semester. For example chemistry and computer science have recently been updated with lists of e-books currently required in the departmental curricula. In addition to field specific sites, the service hosts various general guides such as e-book usage and measuring research impact.
Authentication to content that is restricted to university students and staff is done automatically via UH login, so the new field guides are worth bookmarking at home too!
This service is still fresh and the library wishes to gather as much feedback as possible from its users. What kind of content would help you as a student or a researcher? Please email your subject contact or fill in a questionnaire!
DBpia is an online service of Korean academic journals, Conference Proceedings, professional journals, E-Books, WebDB and so on. Our trial is limited to the journals.
DBpia is servicing more than 1,900 kinds of journals including those of SCI-class, and more than 10 thousands of new articles are added and updated every month.

ResearchGuides – tutkimuksen tiedonlähteet
arXiv is an Open access repository of over one million e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics. University of Helsinki is one of the top benefiters and users of this repository in the Nordic countries.
arXiv’s sponsoring baseline maintenance costs are covered with support from 183 member libraries amongst them Helsinki University Library and Simons Foundation, as well as the main organizer, Cornell University Library. Fund raising pilot between 10th and 19th September enables researcher community or an individual supporter to make a donation to ensure the development of this tremendous archive.

Alright, so you’ve seen the white walls and the big windows and the light that is everywhere. The carefully color-coded design chairs and the smiling guys at customer service.
What then?
Step 1
First impressions about Kaisa vary widely: The anti-humanist, Foucault-referencing poststructuralist nerds often feel that the Kaisa library is too clinical, like a science factory with no goal but to produce science (power is, like, a network which serves, like, faceless institutions).
The utilitarian, inertia-friendly, cat-like nerds think Kaisa is the best place to study because utility is, finally, maximized: the fact that you can eat, sleep and study within one building makes it the Greatest Building In The World.
Both are right. If the white space-hospitaley walls give you the creeps, check out Aleksandria, Café Gaudeamus, and the lower floors: 2, K2, and K3. All are great places to study if the upper floors of the Kaisa make you sure that HAL is watching you. If you like being alone, head down to K4 where even Friday won’t find you.
Remember The Tunnel
Don’t forget that you can take elevators straight from the metro station and grocery store up to Kaisa and walk through the lobby to Aleksandria, the Language Center and Porthania. This is extremely useful when it’s Winter and you want to bite your fingers off just so they wouldn’t be so cold. Utilitarianism rules.
Try the space chairs on the third floor and the coffee automat on the 7th (free hot water! Just bring your own teabags). Permanently moving into the library is made very easy with the student kitchen on the third floor, complete with a microwave and a kettle.
How To Become Lorelai Gilmore: Coffee Secrets
In addition to Gaudeamus (2,25 euros), the closest places to get coffee are Café Portaali (1,25 euros, with lunch 90 cents), the grocery shop on level K1 (small coffee one euro) and the corner kiosk on Kaisaniemenkatu close to the tram stops (one euro). The author of this piece sincerely recommends the latter: the kiosk is kept by the sweetest grandmas who’ll smile your face off.

Notice also that most books – except for course material – have a loaning period of 28 days and they can be renewed 50 times. This means that you can borrow one book for four years and two months. That’s probably more time than you can possibly imagine right now. In addition to cool science books you can find prose, poetry and drama in different languages on K3.
Lastly: don’t forget that This Is Water. Don’t follow the instructions, just read the books. They’re the best that Kaisa has to offer.
