The library takes enhanced action to ensure quiet working conditions
We have continued to receive feedback on excess noise at the library. The feedback concerns the Joensuu Campus Library in particular. According to the library’s Terms of use, the library user should behave in an orderly fashion within the library premises and refrain from disturbing other library users. Failure to comply with the library’s rules and regulations will result in a suspension for a fixed period of time. For example, by its own discretion, the library has the right to terminate the commitment agreement for use of 24/7 self-study facilities.
If you listen to a lecture recording or music, use headphones. If you are doing teamwork or other voice-intensive work, use the group study spaces. You can also use the Olola space in Joensuu. It is a lounge where casual conversation is encouraged and it is located next to the library’s entrance. If you are unsure which facilities are suitable for your purpose, please ensure this from the library’s customer service.
We will monitor the implementation of quiet working conditions in an intensified manner. We are working together within the University to address the problem.

The use of library’s e-resources and interlibrary loan services blocked from Russia and Belarus
Access to library databases and other electronic materials is not possible from Russia and Belarus, since the UEF has blocked access to its electronic services requiring authentication with the university’s username and password from the Russian and Belarusian territory from 23 March 2022, due to sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus. The library’s interlibrary loan services to Russia and Belarus have stopped due to the sanctions.
The Library is invoicing borrowing fees in early April
We are invoicing unpaid borrowing service fees in early April. By paying all the unpaid fees before that, you can avoid the invoicing. Web payment in UEF Primo is a quick and easy way to pay the overdue and reservation fees online. It is possible if the amount of fees is at least three euro. 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.
