What kind of things do our international students value, for example? Since things are usually worked out best by asking, we decided to do so. In early spring in the library worked an <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/ueflibrary\/time-to-say-goodbye\/\">UEF trainee, Gonzalo<\/a>, who conducted a user survey for our international students. What kind of ideas and suggestions for development emerged from the survey?<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">57 students from different countries responded to the survey. The majority of respondents (37) studied in Joensuu, 20 in Kuopio. Many of the respondents have probably returned to their home countries already, but still: thank you very much for participating, every answer and comment is valuable!<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-15697 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/ueflibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/kyselyn_maat.jpg\" alt=\"Word cloud of the respondents' home countries: for example Italy, Germany, France, Iran, Spain, Pakistan, Turkey, Ireland, Kenya etc.\" class=\"wp-image-15697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/ueflibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/kyselyn_maat.jpg 627w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/ueflibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/kyselyn_maat-151x59.jpg 151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The students who responded to the survey were from all over the world.<\/bdo><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We wanted to know, among other things, what students think about the library facilities, what they do in the library, where they find information about library services and have they encountered challenges or problems in using the library? Three points arose in particular from the responses to the survey:<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Students hope for more group study rooms<\/bdo><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Finding books on shelves is challenging<\/bdo><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Library facilities are functional and comfortable.<\/bdo><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMore group study rooms.

A wish for spaces where one could speak more freely often repeated: <em>\u201cMore collaborative meeting areas where talking is allowed\u201d<\/em>, \u201c<em>A room to study but being able to talk without bothering others\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cMore group work and to have more meeting areas to discuss\u201d<\/em>. This wish has certainly been identified throughout the university: students yearn for places where one can encounter other students and study together. At the same time, silence and working peace also emerged in the comments: <em>\u201cHave more group study places, and have people respect the silence more. Maybe marking out areas where people are allowed to talk would be a good way.\u201d<\/em> We at the library start working on a plan for better signposts and clearer spatial communication to ensure working peace for everyone. Adding new group study rooms, unfortunately, is currently almost impossible.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8221;Finding a book is challenging&#8221;<\/bdo><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The biggest challenges in using the library involved finding books on the shelf \u2013 especially in Joensuu campus library. UEF Primo&#8217;s instructions were perceived as difficult and the placement of books on the shelf even illogical: <em>\u201cI would change the way books are classed on the shelves. Sometimes it&#8217;s the author&#8217;s name, sometimes the first letters of the book&#8217;s title, sometimes it&#8217;s by topic, sometimes it&#8217;s upstairs, sometimes it&#8217;s downstairs. Also the software that indicates where the books are is not always accurate. It is annoying to have to look for a long time to find the book I&#8217;m looking for.\u201d<\/em> We are trying to fix this problem as much as possible. Clearer shelf signage and possible changes to the database are already in the design.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI love your study areas and couldn\u2019t have managed through my first year in the university without the calmness of the library\u201d<\/bdo><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What beautiful feedback the library received from its premises! There were many answers to the question \u201cwhat is your favorite place in the library\u201d. The top three were comfortable chairs (especially those near the windows), group study rooms and all the places where you can relax. Someone even stated the following: <em>\u201cMost of the times I study in the library because it is more comfortable than my student home.\u201d<\/em> Of course, there is something to be developed: in addition to insufficient group study rooms, a coffee or a snack machine was wanted in the library: <em>\u201cIt would be great if we had a place where we can get some coffee \/ water \/ snacks after the caf\u00e9 is closed\u201d<\/em>. This is something we promise to ask the university about, because it would certainly serve the users of the library&#8217;s 24\/7 facilities.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/ueflibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220517_143719-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nojatuoleja ja jalkalamppuja ikkunan luona Joensuun kampuskirjastossa.

Those people thought that the course was very useful. We must step up the awareness about these courses, so that more people could gain them in the future. When asked about the channels where people get information about the library and its services, the library\u2019s home page and UEF Primo seemed to be the most popular combination. Still, 20% had never used the library\u2019s homepage. We are going to edit the homepages of both the library and UEF Primo to clarify their purpose \u2013 the library\u2019s homepage tells comprehensively about the services, while UEF Primo is one, although the most important, of those services.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We at the Library warmly thank everyone who responded to the survey, and encourage you all to give feedback and wishes in the future. Without you students, the library is just an empty space!<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lyhyesti suomeksi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirjasto toteutti kev\u00e4ttalvella 2022 kyselyn palveluistaan kansainv\u00e4lisille opiskelijoille.
