New Opening Hours at the Kuopio Campus Library

07.01.2026 Leave a Comment on New Opening Hours at the Kuopio Campus Library

The Kuopio Campus Library will adopt new opening hours starting from 7 January 2026. During the spring semester, the library will be open from Monday to Wednesday as before, from 8 to 18 (customer service from 10 to 18). On Thursdays and Fridays, however, the library will close earlier, at 16 (customer service is open from 10 to 16). 

Saturday opening hours will also change. In May, the Kuopio Campus Library will be closed on Saturdays. Until then, the library will continue to serve customers on Saturdays from 10 to 14. 

The opening hours of the Joensuu Campus Library and the KUH Medical Library will remain unchanged. You can find the regular and exceptional opening hours for the spring semester on the library’s website. Remember that as a UEFian, you can also access the library’s 24/7 self-study facilities outside its opening hours with a personal access badge.

Changes to the Services of the National Repository Library: Article Delivery Pilot Ends on 19 December 2025

18.12.2025 Leave a Comment on Changes to the Services of the National Repository Library: Article Delivery Pilot Ends on 19 December 2025

The National Repository Library will merge with the National Archives of Finland at the turn of the year. This will bring new operating practices, and some of the National Repository Library’s services will become subject to fees in spring 2026.

The pilot project for direct article deliveries will end already on 19 December 2025, and articles will no longer be sent free of charge by email from the National Repository Library. In the future, we will charge the pre‑pilot rates (UEF members and KUH units 2 € / other customers 6 €) according to our list of service fees and deliver the articles in paper form. Printed copies must be collected from the library’s customer service desk. The practices for ordering articles will remain unchanged.

Further information on changes to date can be found in the National Repository Library’s news.

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.
