The library is invoicing overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November
We are invoicing unpaid overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November. We send the bills by e-mail. 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.

Taking others into consideration in the library
Recently the library has received feedback on the use of sound. We want to remind you that Joensuu campus library uses Sound zones. Due to feedback, we monitor the implementation of them in an enhanced manner. Quiet working conditions are our shared concern and everyone has the right to interfere if needed. If the noise level gets out of hand, please immediately notify the person. If necessary, you can always ask help from the library staff.
In addition, we remind you of moderation in the use of perfumes and fragrances also in the library. The number of people using our premises every day is high and many of them get symptoms from smells and scents. At worst, smell sensitivity can cause a fragrance-induced episode of illness.
Our daily actions have a great impact on everyone’s well-being. Please do your share with making our library a more comfortable environment for the people sitting next to you as well.
Open Educational Resources: What Works, What Doesn’t? Participate in the Survey and Make an Impact!
The library is investigating various platform solutions for UEF’s open educational resources. We need your input for this study, UEF member!
The goal is to find a user-friendly and modern platform for creating, publishing, and using open educational resources. This new platform would gather UEF’s open educational resources in one place for learners to find and use, complementing the existing learning environments.
