The K21 Green Library Team of the ELTE University Library Service is committed to promoting environmental awareness and the "green approach" among the university citizens.

In order to raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection, the members of the working group have developed a virtual green collection, which allows browsing through books on sustainability and environmental awareness in Hungarian and foreign languages. Clicking on the book titles will take you to the online library catalogue ELTEfind, where you can find out about the availability of the book you are looking for. The keyword links following the recommendation texts point to the ELTEfind results lists and lead to further documents on the subject.

As a team-building programme, the staff of the ELTE EKL Savaria Library and Archives participated in a joint archery event in the framework of the „Move, ELTE! – Workers' Sports Week 2023” programme.

After a short session at the ELTE SEK Centre for Physical Education and Sport, everyone could experience that it is not so easy to draw a bow and to aim an arrow accurately.

István Kívés, the head of the Sports Centre, was a professional instructor with professional equipment to introduce archery as a sport. The team of librarians learned basic archery techniques as a new challenge. The instructor patiently helped them learn proper holding, aiming and shooting techniques.

The team building programme aimed to develop organisation and social relationships, strengthen roles and cooperation within the team and improve performance.

The University Library and Archives, as the host organisation, has concluded a cooperation agreement with the Vasi Student Community Service (VDKSZ), based on the contract between the supporting institutions – the Municipality of Szombathely City with County Rights and Eötvös Loránd University – and implemented in the ELTE EKL Savaria Library and Archives.

The ELTE EKL Savaria Library and Archives has been hosting students from secondary schools in Szombathely for several years. In the last three years, more than 60 students have chosen the library and library work as their community service.

In the framework of the renewed agreement, the VDKSZ also makes available to the parties the details of the community service activities in a web database and provides online advertising opportunities on the VDKSZ website to display the community service activities.

To support the learning, teaching, and research activities of university citizens and library users, we will make some of our services free of charge from May 30, 2023:

• the use of library computers becomes free for everyone - the number of computers will be doubled with the opening of our teaching room,
• self-service scanning can be used without paying a fee.

The computers located in the classroom on the ground floor can be used freely, without restrictions, if there is no teaching in the classroom. Computers can be unlocked with the username and password posted in the room.

In order to ensure the continuous availability of devices reserved primarily for university lecturers, researchers and students, the unlocking of the computers and self-service scanners located in the reading rooms on the 1st floor can be requested at the rental desk for a period of 1-1 hour, which can be extended upon request.

The Reading Hall will be closed between 12.00 and 16.00 on the 30th of May 2023 due to an MTVA-filming.

The other reading rooms of the library will remain open for our readers with the usual opening hours and services.
