New Library System

Services in current library system will be terminated on 18 July 2026.

Starting 19 August, you will have access to a new library catalog that will make it possible to search and access books and journals as well as the library’s extensive collections of electronic resources in one place. The new system, with a user- and mobile-friendly interface, will also have an easy-to-navigate patron account.

The new system will go live on 19 August 2026.

We will publish the detailed schedule gradually; in time, you will also find guides here on how to search and navigate your new patron account.

Transition Service Limitations (18 July – 18 August)

In the month before the new library catalog goes live, certain existing library system functions will be disabled, interrupting some borrowing services.

• Temporarily unavailable services: searching the existing NTK catalog, checking out and renewing materials, requesting books from the closed stacks.
• Services that will not be interrupted: remote access to electronic resources, using books and journals from the open stacks in the NTK building, and study room rentals.

How Should I Prepare?

• Borrow (or renew) books in advance: Plan ahead to borrow or renew any books you will need during the outage no later than 17 July (the last Friday before services are suspended).
• Return books you don’t need or that can’t be renewed now: Please return these by 17 July (or arrange a renewal that will expire during the outage period ahead of time).
• Download your borrowing history: If you wish to keep a record of your borrowing history, download it as soon as possible from your current patron account because your history will not be migrated to the new system.
• Subscribe to the newsletter.
