Log in for ÅAU

Students and staff at ÅAU log in through HAKA.

If you do not have a library card from before

  1. First, create a digital library card and pin code in Tuudo (Google Play | App Store).
  2. You can log in to Alma through the HAKA-login when you have created a library card in Tuudo.
    You can use the Tuudo-app to monitor your loans, requests and reservations as well as the opening times of the library. You can log into Alma in order do all the same things as well as making requests and reservations.

Alternatively you can apply for a regular library card by filling out this form. You can then pick up your physical library card from one of the library lending desks one working day after you have filled out the form. After this you need to log into Alma with the HAKA-login and set your PIN-code for the self service machines. We recommend that you use the Tuudo-app to get a library card.

If you already have a library card

  1. Click on Log in.
  2. Click on the HAKA-log in picture.
  3. Log in with your ÅAU username and password.
  4. Go to Library Cards to check that your library card is connected to your account.

    2. Enter your e-mail address in the field E-mail address. Note! Must be the same e-mail address as the one in our register. If the short form of your abo address does not work try the long form (firstname.lastname@abo.fi).
    3. Click Save.
    4. You will receive a message with a link in your email. Go to your e-mail and click on the link. Note! If you have logged into Alma on a computer, the link must be opened on the same computer and if you have logged into Alma on a phone the link must be opened on the same phone.
    5. Your library card is now connected.

In the future, you will log in to Alma via the HAKA-login using your ÅAU username and password.
