Updated 1.6.2020: The library is not responsible for the functionality of access key.
The library doors have been closed between 18.3.-31.5. Lending services will be opened for the Uniarts members for limited self-service 1.-18.6.2020, from Mon to Fri 11.00-15.00 in Helsinki. You can access the library building with a valid access key of each facility of Uniarts. The library is not responsible for the functionality of access key. The library follows national guidelines and those provided by the University of the Arts. E-services continue to be accessible 24/7 as usual. The interlibrary loans will be sent to other libraries until June 12, but interlibrary loans cannot be ordered to the library at the moment.
In the self-service library you can:
- Loan the material available on the shelves of open collection
- Pick-up your reservations from the pick-up shelf
- Return your loans, print and copy material
Use the self-service machine for loaning and returning. You can’t operate in the library without Arsca library card. Customer service desk is closed. Please do not use library space to anything else but self-services available. If you left your library card home but have mobile device with you, you may use mobile library card.
We update information about current changes to the library’s website https://lib.uniarts.fi/en/ and Facebook www.facebook.com/uniartslibrary/.
For library customers outside the University of the Arts, the library offers the opportunity to return loans on two Fridays in June.
