Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the beginning of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.

Reporting day K21 – Results in the light of quality improvement

In view of the epidemiological situation, the first quarterly report of the K21 Quality Management Coordination Committee was held in the framework of a Teams meeting. Working group leaders reported on the results and changes of the last quarter.

The University Library Service’s Quality Improvement Report has been completed and the report on non-quality services closed in the previous year has been evaluated and summarized. Based on the results of the lecturer and student satisfaction surveys from 2019 and 2020, the reports have been finalized and are available at the Eötvös Loránd University's Institutional Repository (EDIT). All four documents were passed unanimously by the committee.

The Minister of Human Resources and the leadership and maintainer of the university were also sent the annual report of the University Library Service (ULS) of Eötvös Loránd University in accordance with the current 30/2014. (IV. 10.) Ministry of Human Resources’ Decree. The web interface of our partner database, the archiving of media appearances, the publication of portal news and the ULS newsletter are constantly being updated. In cooperation with the Communication Coordination Committee, the communication working group was involved in organizing trainings, which were planned for writing a detailed situation analysis, setting communication goals, and creating a communication strategy. More efficient communication will be also supported by our user-friendly new portal, which is currently under development.

The barrier-free library group plans to compile a complex, constantly updated barrier-free library user’s guide. As a first step a comprehensive survey was conducted regarding the wide range of our library services for students with special needs. However, the green library group is working to create a green virtual collection that is planned to be facilitated by short content referrals and search aids.

The library leaders prepared the work plans and reports of the libraries, as well as the register of dissemination activities, agreed on the review and standardization of statistical data collection. The uploading of dissertations to EDIT, the acquisition of RFID, and the establishment of plagiarism detection services are in process. We will announce the latest developments and results on our portal soon with the latest news!
