Kaikki oppaat / All guides: How to use the library: Unstaffed hours

What is unsfaffed library service?

SEAMK students and staff can access the SEAMK Library outside of our staffed opening hours in the evenings and on weekends.

The library is accessible Mon–Sun from 9 am to 9 pm. During unstaffed hours, there are no library staff on duty during these hours. Please check customer service's opening hours on SEAMK Finna.

You can check out and check in books at the machines and use library facilities and computers available to patrons.

Before you start using the unstaffed library, please visit the library during opening hours to make sure you are able to borrow books.

During unstaffed hours, SEAMK students and employees can use their access keys to unlock the library door. For more information on access keys, please visit SEAMK Intra. Access is valid during the times when access to Kampustalo (Campus House) is permitted.
When the library closes and the unstaffed hours start, you must identify yourself with your own access key to sign in. Please remember that the access key is personal. You may never lend it to others. Also, you may not use your key to let other people enter the library.
You must leave the premises at 9 pm., after which the lights are automatically switched off. There will be an announcement to remind you to leave.
Use the main library door for entry and exit. Emergency exits are for emergency purposes only.

You can search for books and check their availability on the SEAMK-Finna web service.
Instructions: Where can I find the printed book or journal?

Check out the books at the self-check-out machine. For this, you will always need a library card and a PIN code.
You can find your digital library card on Tuudo and SEAMK-Finna. You can also have a physical library card. If you don't have a library card yet, you can activate it in the Tuudo app.
If you have forgot your PIN code, you can change it by logging into SEAMK-Finna and choosing Profile under My Account.
If the check-out machine is out of order, you will not be able to borrow.
You can only take out material you have checked out from the library.
You can only borrow exercise equipment when the library's customer service is open.

Return your books to the self-check-in shelf outside the library door. Follow the instructions of the machine.

You can find your reservations on the book trolleys outside the library door.
Requested books are sorted by your library card number.
Make sure you choose the book you have reserved. Remember to check out books at the machine nearby!
