NELLI Portal  |  NELLI Instructions (PDF, 179.99 KB)

A new Nelli Portal will be introduced at the Aalto University during the spring 2010.
The new portal will host the combined electronic resources of the associated universities and make them available through the same user interface, thereby replacing the separate Nelli Portals of each university.
If you have used the MySpace service of the current University of Art and Design Nelli Portal, please store your files in an alternative system (p.ex. RefWorks). The information stored in MySpace will be lost, when the current portal is closed down. We regret any service failures that the alteration works may cause in the functioning of the current Nelli.
