Campaigning for peace and quiet: Library is for everyone

Quiet reading space is especially appreciated in the middle of the lively capital. We get a lot of feedback from the students, especially in the spring, that the library doesn’t provide enough reading and study space for all.

In the April 2017 survey, 74% of the library visitors were students, researchers and staff of the University of Helsinki. Approximately 6% of the visitors were readers studying for matriculation examination or admission tests.

In the Nordic libraries, availability has always been important. Availability concerns both access to information and the use of premises. It is also important to us: Although the Helsinki University Library primarily serves University of Helsinki students, researchers and stuff, it welcomes all customers.

Be one of the best!

It is important for the University of Helsinki that high school students can experience the university and its facilities and become acquainted with the university as a learning environment even before they have chosen their field of study. It is therefore important for the university that even students who are not already in the university feel welcome in all the open spaces of the university such as the library or lectures.

Reservation system for Aleksandria group work rooms changes

The reservations of the student group areas in Aleksandria move from the varaus.it.helsinki.fi system to Office 365 as of 1 January 2016. The old varaus.it.helsinki.fi will be shut down in January 2016.

In Office 365, the reservations are made using the dedicated calendar where students have the right to make reservations.

Reservations already made for year 2016 are not transferred automatically to Office 365. If necessary, the IT Center contacts the people who have already made such reservations.
