Employee clothes – Laboratory building

Used clothes for employes are not submitted in accordance with the agreement. This means that the team will  regress from the laundry on certain sizes on some days. This is perceived as stupid and unfair to those who deliver their clothing as they should …

OVID has stricker access for Helse-Bergen as an institution, which means that even users With UiB usernames and passwords can not grasp the articles if they are conected to Helse-Bergens network. We’re sorry for this situation that makes it harder to get access for Our users. This access issue is national. The University libraries at the UiB, UiO, NTNU and UiT work closely with the Health Library for negotiations with OVID. The negotiations that are taking place are complicated, but we are seeing signs that we can come to an agreement for 2017 and beyond.
