HOW TO USE
For students of Igor Sikorsky KPI
If you have a KPI student card, you are automatically a library user! Your student card is also your library card.
To activate your library card, log in to your account in the catalogue: barcode – student ID number without letters, password – date of birth in the format day/month/year (e.g. 01012002).
If you are unable to log in, please contact Support:
- by phone: +38 (044) 204-82-75;
- via the library’s Telegram chatbot: https://t.me/KPILibrarybot;
- by email: library@library.kpi.ua (please include your full name, faculty and group in the email).
To other members of the university community
Don’t have a student ID, but are you part of the KPI community? Register in the way that suits you best:
- in person: speak to the librarians at the Information Desk (1 Floor). Please bring a form of ID with you (staff ID or passport). Registration takes 5 minutes;
- remotely: fill in the online form. You will receive your library card details: a barcode (a temporary number generated by the system, such as BOR4983) and a password (the password you specify). We will verify and activate your account within 1 working day (you will receive a confirmation email), after which you will be able to use the Library’s services. To obtain a physical library card, you must visit the Information Desk in person.
