Library user survey results
Do you remember how you responded to the library user survey in February? Do you want to know if others agree with you? The abundant feedback resulted in a rich compilation, which you can find on our blog.
Gentle reminder: personal items and computer area etiquette in the library
We kindly remind you of following the library’s terms of use while using our facilities. Please remember that any personal items left unattended are considered lost property and will be handled by the university’s facility management officers.
For those using our 24/7 self-service facilities, we advise to take your belongings with you when leaving. If you leave your items in the library, we will leave them in place until the next morning.
There is plenty of use for computers, so please take others into consideration. If the university’s computer is not used for 15 minutes, it’s freely available to other customers. It’s important to ensure your information security by logging out of sessions when stepping away from the computer.
Please note that installing software on university computers is strictly forbidden, and the university isn’t responsible for equipment or software malfunctions or any damage incurred by malware. As a library customer, it’s your responsibility to follow the university’s information security protocols.
Thank you for doing your share in making the library a cozy working environment for all of us.
The library is invoicing overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of April
We are invoicing unpaid overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of April. 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.
More information: library@uef.fi

Answer Library’s user survey
Dear University of Eastern Finland (UEF) Library customer! The library uses this survey to map your experiences of the library’s services. It takes about 10 minutes to respond to the survey, and your answers are stored anonymously. The answers will be used to develop library services – every answer is important and welcome! The survey is open until the 29th of February.
If you wish, you can participate in a draw for a Library tote bag (3 pics) after you have submitted the survey.
Good news for all users of interlibrary services!
Now you can order interlibrary loans also on UEF Primo. First log in to UEF Primo and then open the “ILL Request” form at the top of the page.
The easiest way to order an article is this: first log in to UEF Primo and then search for the article you want. If the status of the article is “Not available”, open its details and use the “Interlibrary Loan Request” button to order the article. A form will open and the information about the article fills in automatically.
Your interlibrary loans will be shown in your own loans on UEF Primo. Interlibrary loans ordered before 1 February 2024 will not be shown on UEF Primo. As before, our interlibrary services aim to renew interlibrary loans without a separate renewal request from the customer. If necessary, you can send an interlibrary loan renewal request on UEF Primo 7 days before the due date, at the earliest. Please note that we will continue to notify you via email about the expiring interlibrary loans separately.
