SAMK-Finna tells you what we have, where it is and in what format. It is free to use. You can search for a specific publication or material, for example by subject. SAMK-Finna shows the location and availability of printed books. Most of the library’s material is online and Finna provides a link. Some of the material is freely accessible, some is only available to SAMK students and staff.
With the library card you can borrow printed books from our campus libraries in Pori, Rauma, Huittinen and Kankaanpää.
