Library lessons to support study and research

  • A solid foundation and new initiatives
  • Academic year 2020–2021 entirely online
  • Learning the right things at the right time
  • Online and on campus

Read the blog post about the feedback we’ve received on teaching and guidance.

“This course gave me the feeling that I can always contact the UEF Library when doing research, and help is available.”

Theses can now be found at UEF Primo

Information about UEF’s theses has been added to the library’s search service.

You can search for theses at UEF Primo by author, title and subject. Index terms will be added to the latest theses, in order to improve results.

UEF’s theses can also be found in the national Finna, as well as the theses of other universities.

The works themselves are in eRepo. Searches in eRepo’s own interface offer more options, for example you can limit your search only to master’s theses. In addition, eRepo searches the full texts as well.

The Library is invoicing borrowing fees in mid-November

We are invoicing unpaid borrowing service fees in mid-November. By paying all the unpaid fees before that, you can avoid the invoicing. Web payment is a quick and easy way to pay the overdue and reservation fees online.
Log in to UEF Primo. From your account, select Fines. You can make an online payment if the amount of fees is at least three euro.
After payment, return to your own records in the library system, the paid fees will be deleted from your records immediately. Online payment is not possible during UEF Primo’s short service breaks.
You can also pay the fees at the Joensuu and Kuopio campus libraries’ customer service with a debit/credit card. Payment is not possible in the KUH Medical Library, because there is no cash service.
