The library is invoicing overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November

We are invoicing unpaid overdue and reservation fees in the beginning of November. You can avoid the invoicing by paying your fees before that. Web payment on UEF Primo is a quick and easy way to pay the fees online. It is possible if the amount of fees is at least one euro. You can also pay the fees at the Joensuu and Kuopio campus libraries’ customer service with a payment card. Payment is not possible in the KUH Medical Library because there is no cash service.

Progress of the maintenance work of the Joensuu Campus Library

Maintenance work has been carried out at the Joensuu Campus Library since August. Work will continue across the library for the rest of the year, and this will have temporary effects on moving in the facilities and the locations of the material. This may mean that there are alternative routes or that the location information in the Call Number Guide is slightly incorrect for a brief time. We will inform you about changes in more detail in the facilities so that the use of the library will be as smooth as possible also during maintenance work.

Liukula and Avola storage rooms are back in normal use. If you have any questions about changes caused by maintenance work, please contact our staff.
