Library Cards

If you have a library card from both the National Defense University library and the libraries of the military units (Urho), you can add both cards to your account.

After connecting your card, you will have access to library services, such as the possibility to reserve and renew loans.

This is how you add a library card:

  1. As a logged in user, go to Your Account in the top bar of the screen. Select Library Cards and Connect library/parallel card.
  2. Select the library you want to use.
  3. Fill in your library card number on the form. Please note that you may have the same number used by both the National Defence University Library and the Urho Libraries. Enter the PIN code of your library card.
  4. If you wish, you can name your library card to make it easier to distinguish. Finally, click Save.
