Due to the library system being replaced, the library suspends book acquisitions and the processing of books into collections until the end of the year. Due to this interruption making reservations on Legal deposit copies is closed from this point on. We will inform you about making reservations in UEF Primo later. For more information please contact: Riitta Porkka, riitta.porkka[at]uef.fi or acquisitions[at]uef.fi. Please follow our detailed updates about the process on the UEF Library’s webpage (opening in a new window), University intranet and UEF Library’s social media channels.

Library improves availability of course books – objective: shorter request queues
Owing to the feedback received, we aim at improving the availability of course books by acquiring more of them.
As before, we try to acquire course books in electronic form with unlimited concurrent user access licences. However, if a course book is only available in printed form, we will acquire one lendable copy of the course book per five students enrolled for the course, though no more than 30 copies of one title. Previously the ratio was one book per ten students enrolled for the course and no more than 25 copies of one title. In addition, we always try to acquire one or more reading room copies of each course book.
Library’s updated collection programme (in Finnish) can be found from our home page.

Impact factor, H-index, Jufo…. Do you use these? Do you need information about them?
The library assesses the use of research and publishing activity indicators and the need for training at the University of Eastern Finland and the Kuopio University Hospital.
Reply anonymously to this short questionnaire, which we hope to experience with students, teachers, researchers, professors and other staff (even if you do not need these indicators in your studies or work!).
The questionnaire is open 1.10. – 12.10.2018. The survey results are used to develop library web sites and services.
