Borrow with a library card – use Tuudo app
With SAMK's library card, you can borrow and reserve printed course books, magazines and other literature. Install Tuudo app on your phone. SAMK students can create their own library card in Tuudo. You will then have a library card barcode in Tuudo, which you can use to borrow books from the library. Another way to get a library card is to ask for one at the library. The library card is free of charge.
You need a library card to borrow printed books, to reserve books and to use the Pori and Rauma libraries during self-service hours.
For library opening hours and contact details, please see the SAMK Library's Finna website.
Digital library at samk.finna.fi
Most of the library's material is online – including many course books. Professional and scientific online materials, e-books and e-journals acquired by SAMK Library are available on your own laptop via SAMK Library's Finna. You can use them both on campus and at home. Always access the material via the link in SAMK's Finna. You should search for a specific book in Finna by book title.
There are dozens of online services called Finna in Finland. Always search for SAMK Library material in SAMK Library's Finna at samk.finna.fi.
Some e-books require a reader software
Some e-books require the free Adobe Digital Editions reader software. You should install it on your laptop.
To read e-books you will need your SAMK username and password, SAMK-ID. The library card is not needed.
