Information for users of the Interlibrary Services and the National Repository Library!

23.10.2024 Leave a Comment on Information for users of the Interlibrary Services and the National Repository Library!

The National Repository Library will be moving to new premises during 2025. The Repository Library’s interlibrary services operates normally until Christmas 2024 and then closes. Orders can be made from the materials of the Repository Library until 20 December 2024. The exact duration of the closing of the Repository Library is not yet known.

The Repository Library’s loans are renewed with long loan period. When the Repository Library is closed, there is no need to return the Repository Library loans.

The National Repository Library wishes that as many books as possible will be returned to them by 29 November 2024 to make the move easier. If you have loans from the Repository Library, that you no longer need, the wish would be that you would return them. However, there is no obligation to return the loans.

If you have any questions, please contact the interlibrary services at: kaukopalvelu@uef.fi

The library is invoicing overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November

22.10.2024 Leave a Comment on 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.

If necessary, you can ask about your payments by sending an email to library@uef.fi.

Taking others into consideration in the library

07.10.2024 Leave a Comment on 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!

07.10.2024 Leave a Comment on 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. 

The survey is open 7–27 October 2024. 

Did you, or will you, publish your thesis open access? You can take part in a raffle!

24.09.2024 Leave a Comment on Did you, or will you, publish your thesis open access? You can take part in a raffle!

Every year, UEF Library raffles off a grant worth EUR 100 among UEF students who have made their master’s (level) thesis publicly available that same year.

The grant will be raffled off a couple of weeks before the international Open Access Week among all UEF students who have since the last raffle made their master’s thesis publicly available on UEF eRepo and who sign up for the raffle using this form.

You haven’t limited or aren’t going to limit your own work beyond open science, have you?

Good luck!
