Welcome to UEF library’s Zotero trainings!

The trainings introduce the basic functions of the Zotero reference management software and how to use the Zotero Word Plugin. The trainings will be held on Teams. Registration in advance is not needed. Before the training session, if you wish, you can install Zotero on your computer. See library’s instructions. After that you can already start using Zotero.

The Tuudo app has ongoing issues

03.12.2025 Leave a Comment on The Tuudo app has ongoing issues

Tuudo released a new version of its mobile app earlier this month. The library functions have had, and still have, problems. For now, the library recommends avoiding updating the app. However, if you have already updated to the new version, please make sure you are using the latest update, 2025.1.3, in which some of the issues have been fixed and, for example, renewing loans is possible again. Tuudo has announced that it is currently working on resolving the problems, so it is advisable to keep an eye out for further updates in the near future. 

Please note that in the new Tuudo, the library can be found under Student Services. From the menu view, you can add the library section to your favorites, making it quicker to find in the future. If you need to manage your loans and reservations, we recommend using UEF Primo for this purpose. For any questions related to loans and reservations, you can also contact our customer service at [email protected]. For issues related to Tuudo, please contact [email protected].

Problems with the library features on the updated Tuudo app

20.11.2025 Leave a Comment on Problems with the library features on the updated Tuudo app

Tuudo has released a new version of their mobile app today. Unfortunately, there are currently significant issues with the library-related features. We kindly ask you to avoid updating the app for now, if possible.

If you are a library customer and have already updated the app, please note that you can find your library card by clicking the menu icon in the bottom right corner, opening the Student services accordion menu, and selecting Library. From this menu view, you can also add the library section to your favorites, making it easier to find in the future.

If you need to manage your loans and reservations, we recommend using UEF Primo for this purpose. For any questions related to loans and reservations, you can also contact our customer service at [email protected]. For issues related to Tuudo, please contact [email protected].

The functionality issues with Tuudo are under investigation. We will provide further information later.
