Guide for new students: TOP5 tips for the new student

Five tips for the new student

Get to know your library!

  1. Activate your library card with TUUDO app. Alternatively your student card can serve as a library card if activated at the IT Helpdesk. With card you can borrow as many books as you like. With your Tuni user account you can get access to all our e-resources even without a library card.
  2. Enjoy, investigate, be inspired! The library is both an office and a living space for students. The library premises have been designed with the students for the students! Focus on your studies or network with your friends. Bring your own devices or use the library computers. The library also offers various casual spaces for hanging out and just relaxing - some even 24/7!
  3. Make the most of our e-resources: use all our e-books, e-journals, and the latest research wherever you are. Use Andor, the library web pages or the library guides to gain access!
  4. Ask us and follow us! The library staff is here for you. You can find us at the library service desk or contact us by phone, chat, or email.  We also provide teaching and guidance in information searching throughout your studies. Follow us on Twitter and read the latest library news on the library website and on the info screens.
  5. Keep calm and study on! The library guides have been designed to help you. The guides include field-specific subject guides and general guides (E-book guide, Information searching guide) to help you make the most of our resources. Remember that as a member of the higher education community in Tampere, you need more than everyday information - make sure you know how to evaluate information and how to use information in your studies correctly.
