The Year 2025 in the library: Library as a guardian of well-being and trust

The annual report illustrates the library's vibrant and diverse daily operations and its important role as a contributor to the success of the University of Helsinki.

The Annual Report 2025 of Helsinki University Library has been published.

This year, the report highlights how the library has been seen as a key developer of learning environments at the University of Helsinki, with the newly renovated Learning Centre Aleksandria in 2025 serving as an excellent example.

The validated publication data produced by the library is essential for managing, reporting, and enhancing the visibility of research. The report describes how the library's work is linked to various processes within the university's research activities.

The library's collections evolve in response to the needs of the university's research and teaching. These collections grow as a result of a continuous acquisition and negotiation process. The goal of strategic expertise work is to ensure that university members have access to the resources they need in a rapidly changing publishing market.
