From the beginning of 2014, the Campus Libraries in Viikki, Meilahti and Kumpula will be open from 9.00 to 19.00 on weekdays. The Main Library in Kaisa House will continue to serve library users also on Saturdays from 10.00 to 16.00.
On Saturdays, students will have at their disposal the 24-hour reading room of the Viikki Info Centre, as well as the 24-hour IT facilities in the other Viikki Campus buildings. On the Meilahti Campus, students may use the facilities of the Mocoma learning centre in the basement of the Campus Library Terkko around the clock.
Library opening hours will have to be cut to achieve savings. Helsinki University Library will make efforts to implement the reduced opening hours with minimal harm to customers. The library user survey conducted in the autumn revealed that on Saturdays, visitor numbers in both the Viikki and Meilahti Campus Libraries are low. In the Viikki Campus Library, also the last hour of business between 19.00 and 20.00 on weekdays is slow. Furthermore, the trial period for keeping the Kumpula Campus Library open between 8.00 and 9.00 will be suspended and the library will open at 9.00 like the other campus libraries.
The new opening hours apply to the Viikki, Meilahti and Kumpula Campus Libraries. There will be no changes to the opening hours of other libraries in the University Library system.
Due to the release of a new e-book platform there have been access problems with SanomaPro’s e-books.
The publisher is aware of the issue and is working with us to resolve it. We apologize for the inconvenience!
