Due to the strike of the Finnish Transport Workers’ Union AKT, transport between the library offices is at a standstill, so the arrival of the reserved material may be delayed.
The strike may also affect the arrival of the latest printed journals.
According to current information, the strike will continue until 21 February unless an agreement is reached in the negotiations before that.

Library Bot Uffe has served our customers tirelessly for three months around the clock. We’re glad for the warm reception which can be seen in the significant number of users. Many of you might have noticed, advised by Uffe, that the most common library questions have always been answered on our website.
If you still have something on your mind, Uffe has made it possible to reach out for a customer servant during 9–15. Starting from Wednesday 1.2.2023, the customer servant can be reached one hour later, i.e., 10–16. At other times, Uffe still serves you at the bottom of the library’s website, where you will find a clickable chat icon. You can also send us a message through the bot, which we will respond to by e-mail. Uffe will offer these options if it can’t help you.
Please leave us feedback about the bot!

You probably knew already that you can pay overdue and reservation fees online on UEF Primo. Until this moment the minimum sum for online payment has been 3,00 €. We have made this easier: from now on, the minimum sum for paying online is 1 € and at the customer service 0,50 €.
Due to energy shortages resulting from the global energy crisis, locally imposed rotating power outages are possible, and they will affect the library services at UEF. The university has prepared practical instructions for power outages, all of which can be found on this website.
Please read the following instructions for library customers:
You can find detailed instructions on the notices on the library’s main doors, and you can ask for more information at the customer service desk.
Recently, we introduced you our Library Bot Uffe. It was, and still is, a rookie when it comes to the library know-how. However, the most common questions that we encounter can already be resolved around the clock with the help of Uffe.
Up to this date, the library bot has offered only limited functionality for our English-speaking customers. We are now happy to announce that Library Bot Uffe speaks English! Both language versions – Finnish and English – have the same content to serve our customers equally.
We warmly encourage you to continue using Uffe and give us feedback. This will help us to make it more useful for you.
Guide to information retrieval was built in a library’s educational services development project.
With the Guide to Information Retrieval and the library’s other learning materials, along with the library’s teaching and guidance services, the library supports students as they search for information – from the start of their studies to the completion of their theses.
The library’s learning materials package also helps teachers and researchers in teaching, thesis guidance and their own research.
Read more about the project at UEF Library blog.
Take a look a the guide and utilize it.
