Libraries will be renovated in summer 2020
The Joensuu campus library will be renovated from 15 June to 7 August 2020. For the time being, the service is operated as a book picking service within the limits dictated by construction site restrictions.
The Kuopio campus library will be renovated from 1 June to 31 August 2020. The book collections are not in use because the books will be packed away for the duration of the renovation. Book picking service that started on June 14th, continues for the time being, but only from the collections of the Joensuu Campus Library and the KUH Medical Library.
Books can be returned to the book drop hatches of Joensuu and Kuopio campus libraries.

If yes, now is the chance to take part in a survey to develop researcher service concept called Mining Lab (Louhos).
The survey has 20 questions and takes about 10 to 15 minutes. None of the questions is obligatory. The survey is open until 15th May 2020.
