It is possible to digitize cine-film at the Maikkula Library. 

The Reflecta Digitizer can be used to digitize both 8-mm and Super 8-mm cine-films. The device scans each film frame separately to a memory card. Frame-by-frame digitization takes some time. One 5-inch roll (15,2 m) includes 3 minutes and 30 seconds of film, and its digitization takes approximately 30 minutes. 

The final product is an HD quality (1440 x 1080p) mp4 record. You must bring your own SD memory card with storage for at least 32 Gb. 

Haukipudas, Kiiminki, and Oulunsalo Libraries include an ID card reader that can be borrowed or used with customer computers or personal devices. The use requires a card reader program. The reader is meant for chip and smart cards that can be used to verify identity or can be used to log in. The reader can be used to activate the citizen certificate on the customer’s ID card’s chip with the required identification number. 

A multifunction device for printing and scanning is found in the Central Library Saari and Haukipudas, Jääli, Kaakkuri, Kaijonharju, Karjasilta, Kastelli, Kaukovaunio, Kiiminki, Koskela, Maikkula, Myllyoja, Oulunsalo, Pateniemi, Rajakylä, Ritaharju, Tuira, Yli-Ii, and Ylikiiminki Libraries. With the multifunction device, you can send scanned files via e-mail or to a fixed memory card. You can also print from a memory card at all libraries listed above. 

Important documents should not be fed into the copier from the top, instead you should use face copying. For example, some certificates utilize thicker paper or might include an embossed stamp which can cause creasing. Copy at your own risk. 

Prints and copies are paid at the customer service desk. If the library does not have a register, prints and copies are charged via your customer account, remember to bring your library card with you. Printing, copying and scanning is not possible during self-service hours.
