New resource: Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World

Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World traces the enduring history and wide-ranging cultural influence of Neo-Latin, the form of Latin that originated in the Italian Renaissance and persists to the modern era. Featuring original contributions by a host of distinguished international scholars, this comprehensive reference work explores every aspect of the civilized world from literature and law to philosophy and the sciences.

The usage of Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World is restricted to Helsinki University students, faculty, staff and the local users in the National Library and in the Helsinki University libraries.  The university staff and students may also use the electronic materials remotely outside the university network.

Non-Helsinki University users can use e-resources by getting a guest authentication account from staff at library information desks.

Free printing continues for students

The board of the IT Center has decided that the current students’ printing practice will continue until the end of 2015.

Black and white printing will continue for free with separately designated printers at general information technology premises. These printers can only print in black and white; they cannot be used to copy or scan. Printing is only permitted for documents related to studying.

Unigrafia multi-function printers intended for colour printing, scanning and copying are no longer free of charge, since 15 April. Material unrelated to studying can also be printed with these devices.

The university continues the development of its digital learning environment so that in future, for example, written work that relates to studying can be returned electronically and the need for printing related to studying would be as minimal as possible.
