Dear University of Eastern Finland (UEF) Library customer! The library uses this survey to map your experiences of the library’s services. It takes about 10 minutes to respond to the survey, and your answers are stored anonymously. The answers will be used to develop library services – every answer is important and welcome! The survey is open until the 29th of February.
If you wish, you can participate in a draw for a Library tote bag (3 pics) after you have submitted the survey.
Now you can order interlibrary loans also on UEF Primo. First log in to UEF Primo and then open the “ILL Request” form at the top of the page.
The easiest way to order an article is this: first log in to UEF Primo and then search for the article you want. If the status of the article is “Not available”, open its details and use the “Interlibrary Loan Request” button to order the article. A form will open and the information about the article fills in automatically.
Your interlibrary loans will be shown in your own loans on UEF Primo. Interlibrary loans ordered before 1 February 2024 will not be shown on UEF Primo. As before, our interlibrary services aim to renew interlibrary loans without a separate renewal request from the customer. If necessary, you can send an interlibrary loan renewal request on UEF Primo 7 days before the due date, at the earliest. Please note that we will continue to notify you via email about the expiring interlibrary loans separately.

For those who use Ellibs on computer, it is now possible to download eBooks to Thorium Reader. Thorium Reader supports the open-source Readium LCP (Licensed Content Protection) protection method for eBooks. Thorium Reader has paid special attention to accessibility. The application has, for example, a built-in read aloud feature for eBooks and extensive options for customizing the reading view.
You will need a personal LCP password to read eBooks in Thorium Reader. You can find the password in ‘My Bookshelf’ when you log in to Ellibs. Thorium Reader will ask for your password the first time you download an e-book file to the reader. Afterwards, the program will only request the password occasionally.
Adobe Digital Editions remains an alternative reader to Thorium Reader on Ellibs for the time being. Ellibs’ own application remains the recommended reader for mobile devices. Most of Ellibs’ books can also be read via a web browser.
Further information on the instructions page of the Ellibs Library.

There is currently a delay in processing student access permit applications at the Joensuu campus: as due to a global component shortage, the university’s Key Services has not received new access tokens. This affects, for example, getting a 24/7 access badge of the library. According to current information, more access tokens will be available in December, and the processing of students’ access permit applications will be continued then. Applicants will be notified as soon as the access badges can be picked up. We apologize for the situation.
