Maintenance break of library’s RTVA workplaces on March 14th

On Tuesday, March 14th, the RTVA services of the Joensuu and Kuopio Campus Libraries have a service break that affects streaming and is likely to take several hours. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

The radio and TV archive is a database that can be accessed from campus libraries’ legal depostit copy workstations. There you can find national radio and television programmes recorded by the National Audiovisual Institute (KAVI). The index of RTVA is available online. 

We have recently updated the instructions for legal deposit copy workstations, so you can also find more information about the content on site.

Repair work at the Joensuu Campus Library’s 3A hall

Repair work is being done at the Joensuu Campus Library’s 3A hall. Some of our material has been temporarily moved to make room for it. As usually, you can use The Call Number Guide to locate the material or you can ask the library. The Kalevala collection is unavailable during the repair work.

Suomen Yliopistokiinteistöt Oy announces:

“There is a local barrier to the use of the premises and in its immediate vicinity there may be intermittent noise from the repair work for about 3-4 weeks. The work will start during week 9. It is estimated that the work will be completed in its entirety by April 3, 2023. The repair area is delimited by a protective wall. The books that were in the area have been moved by the library staff.

AKT strike affects the library’s services

Due to the strike of the Finnish Transport Workers’ Union AKT, transport between the library offices is at a standstill, so the arrival of the reserved material may be delayed.  

The strike may also affect the arrival of the latest printed journals.  

According to current information, the strike will continue until 21 February unless an agreement is reached in the negotiations before that.

Changes in library’s live chat opening hours

Library Bot Uffe has served our customers tirelessly for three months around the clock. We’re glad for the warm reception which can be seen in the significant number of users. Many of you might have noticed, advised by Uffe, that the most common library questions have always been answered on our website.

If you still have something on your mind, Uffe has made it possible to reach out for a customer servant during 9–15. Starting from Wednesday 1.2.2023, the customer servant can be reached one hour later, i.e., 10–16. At other times, Uffe still serves you at the bottom of the library’s website, where you will find a clickable chat icon. You can also send us a message through the bot, which we will respond to by e-mail. Uffe will offer these options if it can’t help you.

Please leave us feedback about the bot!
