News about the library at the end of the autumn semester.

After the cramped conditions in the library this autumn, users can now look forward to the renovated and improved space in the new year. Read more about it below, where we also highlight professional and digital innovations introduced in recent months.

Keenious is a new AI tool specifically designed to assist you in your research endeavours.

Keenious analyses the text in your document and recommends relevant research for you. You can also use Keenious as an AI chat to receive suggestions for relevant sources. The first time you use it, create an account on Keenious with your name and NMH-email address. A detailed guide on how to use Keenious can be found at https://www.oslomet.no/en/ul/ai-tools

Everyone knows Oria, which is the library's central and most important search tool.

Under the Databases tab, you will now find an overview of the databases that the library has made available for your studies and work. The old overview on the library's website is being phased out.

In the new year, 12. January, a new, upgraded version of Oria will be launched centrally, and at the NMH library, we are working to ensure that the search capabilities remain as flexible as they are now. Unfortunately, users who have saved links to records and searches, or saved searches and search history, will lose this.

Art Song Transpositions

Earlier this autumn, the library subscribed to a database specifically developed for singers. See the separate feature on "Art Song Transpositions" under News.

Registration of research

NMH – Brage is a thing of the past, and so is CRIStin. Everything registered there has now been transferred to the newly developed Norwegian Research Information Repository, where scientific registration continues alongside open publishing. Feel free to take a look, but all results will still be searchable in the good old Oria.

Library renovations.

Already, the library has received new sofas and several large collaboration- and worktables, and group/meeting room 250 has been converted into a reading room. After Christmas, the former CD corridor and adjacent areas will open. This new space will feature sofa seating, four "phone booths," a mini-kitchen, and a flexible reading area. There will also be five small meeting rooms and one larger meeting room. Many of these spaces will be available for booking in Time-Edit by both students and staff. The librarians workspace is also being refurbished.
