We are invoicing unpaid overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November. You can avoid the invoicing by paying your fees before that. Web payment on UEF Primo is a quick and easy way to pay the fees online. It is possible if the amount of fees is at least one euro. You can also pay the fees at the Joensuu and Kuopio campus libraries’ customer service with a payment card. Payment is not possible in the KUH Medical Library because there is no cash service.

With one click, you can repeat your UEF Primo search in BASE or PubMed and get a grouped visualization.

  • A Knowledge Map presents you with a topical overview for your search query based on the 100 most relevant documents matching your query.
  • They use text similarity to create the knowledge maps. The algorithm groups those documents together that have many words in common.
