Have you already met Library Bot Uffe?

09.01.2023 Leave a Comment on Have you already met Library Bot Uffe?

Recently, we introduced you our Library Bot Uffe. It was, and still is, a rookie when it comes to the library know-how. However, the most common questions that we encounter can already be resolved around the clock with the help of Uffe.

Up to this date, the library bot has offered only limited functionality for our English-speaking customers. We are now happy to announce that Library Bot Uffe speaks English! Both language versions – Finnish and English – have the same content to serve our customers equally.

We warmly encourage you to continue using Uffe and give us feedback. This will help us to make it more useful for you.

This is how the Guide to information retrieval was created. Use it!

20.12.2022 Leave a Comment on This is how the Guide to information retrieval was created. Use it!

Guide to information retrieval was built in a library’s educational services development project.

With the Guide to Information Retrieval and the library’s other learning materials, along with the library’s teaching and guidance services, the library supports students as they search for information – from the start of their studies to the completion of their theses.

The library’s learning materials package also helps teachers and researchers in teaching, thesis guidance and their own research.

Read more about the project at UEF Library blog.

Take a look a the guide and utilize it.

UEF Library is committed to the Discrimination-​free zone campaign

07.12.2022 Leave a Comment on UEF Library is committed to the Discrimination-​free zone campaign

University of Eastern Finland Library is committed to the Discrimination-free zone campaign, coordinated by the Ministry of Justice. This means fighting against discrimination, acting against it, and recognizing equality between people.

Our library welcomes all people regardless of the person’s gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, opinion, state of health, disability or sexual orientation.

A sign in the library premises indicates that we want to take discrimination and equality seriously. It’s only a small gesture, but it can help to raise issues of discrimination.

More information on the campaign: https://equality.fi/discriminationfree.fi
Non-discrimination Act: https://finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2014/20141325

Guess how many books were used to set up the library’s book Christmas tree!

29.11.2022 Leave a Comment on Guess how many books were used to set up the library’s book Christmas tree!

UEF Library’s seventh book Christmas tree has been set up (video; opens in new tab) in the Kuopio Campus Library and guessing competition is open.

Leave your guess into the box in the library or use the web form. The closest guess will win a prize! If you are the lucky winner, you will need to come to the Kuopio Campus Library to collect it. We will announce the correct number of books in the tree after Epiphany and the form will be open until 8th January 2023.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in setting up the book Christmas tree!

Good luck!

Rule violations at the 24/7 self-service facility of Carelia building in Joensuu

11.11.2022 Leave a Comment on Rule violations at the 24/7 self-service facility of Carelia building in Joensuu

There have been rule violations at the 24/7 self-service facility of Carelia building in autumn semester. With their personal access badges, some users have let other persons to the facility. The facility has also been used for accommodation purposes. The facility is meant for self-study.

When a user gets an access badge to the 24/7 facility, they have agreed to abide the instructions for the facility. As per commitment agreement, the access badge is always personal, and the user is not allowed to give it to others. Holder of the badge cannot let other people to the facility. You can find Safety Instructions for Library 24/7 Access Badge Holder here.

Terms of use for the 24/7 self-service facilities have been made for the common safety. If a user fails to abide them, library has the right, by its own discretion, to temporarily suspend the 24/7 use or terminate a contract effective immediately.

Library hopes that the violations will not happen again. It is the common good that the 24/7 self-service facility of Carelia building can be used safely and in a good spirit also in the future.
