Teachers, students and staff, please submit your acquisition proposals for the materials you need during this spring, summer, and autumn, as soon as possible.
Academy of Fine Arts and Theatre Academy libraries will both close on April 30 for the duration of the Sörnäinen campus renovation and merging of the libraries. The new library at Sörnäinen campus will open in autumn 2021. These libraries do not process acquisition proposals between April 20 and August 31. The materials that have been ordered but do not arrive to the library by April 30, are possible to access only in the autumn. Delivery times for materials depends on the different vendors.
It is good to favour electronic books instead of printed books because e-books can be acquired much faster.
