Longer loan periods
Because the library is closed for a longer time, we are giving longer loan periods for books until Aug 13, 2025. Please check the due dates of your loans and don’t forget to renew your loans before the library closes. There are no due dates during the time library is closed. SEAMK staff’s loans will be automatically renewed by the system unless there are no requests on them.
Returns
- During the period 23.–27.6. when the library is closed, but the C0 door to Kampustalo is open, you can check-in books to the self-checkin shelf during 7:30am–4:00pm. SEAMK students and staff can access the library with SEAMK access rights 9 am – 9 pm.
- Please note, that Kampustalo is closed June 28–July 27. During the time Kampustalo and library are closed, you can return books to the book drop box by the C0 door, located at the right end of Kampustalo, opposite to the Tornitalo student apartments.
Requests
You cannot request books on SEAMK-Finna starting from Thursday 19.6. at 2pm. You may request books on SEAMK-Finna again on Monday 4.8.2025 as the library opens.
Contacts
During the closure the library staff is on vacation. Emails and messages will not be processed and the phone calls will not be answered. Chat is also closed, but you can find answers to frequently asked questions on our FAQ page. We will reply to the messages as the library opens on Monday 4.8. Interlibrary loans will not be handled 13.6.–3.8.
EXAM visits from other universities
EXAM visits by the students from other universities can only be taken during the SEAMK Library’s customer opening hours. Please also note that the library’s customer service is not open in the mornings between 9 and 10. During the library closure, 20.6.– 3.8., EXAM visits are not possible.
Please always check the hours on the SEAMK-Finna page and arrive early, so that the SEAMK librarian has time to check the visitor’s ID and let the visitor in to the EXAM room before the customer service desk closes. More information is available on SEAMK EXAM instructions.
Theses
New theses will not be processed on Theseus during the closure. They will be handled when the library opens again.
E-resources
E-books and e-journals are available for the SEAMK students and staff the whole summer. You can search for e-books, e-journals and e-articles on SEAMK-Finna if you narrow your search by “Available online” limiter. Instructions and library guides on how to use e-resources can be found via the links below.
