Databases of the week

Interruption of off-campus access digital resources
The supplier of EZproxy has scheduled technical maintenance Friday 26 April 23.00 to Saturday 27 April 08.00. There may be a second period of maintenance: from Saturday 27 April 23.00 to Sunday 28 April 08.00. During these periods, no off-campus access is possible to most digital resources offered by the library. Resources where you log in via SURFconext will remain accessible.

Van Dale Online Dictionaries
These can be accessed via SURFconext but also via IP recognition. Tip: make a shortcut on your desktop with this link to have the dictionaries always quickly available.

EZproxy
Most databases require logging in via EZproxy for off-campus access. To increase security, logging in to EZproxy is now done via SURFconext. The first time you use this, you will see a screen to give permission to forward your login details.

Databases overview and Safari
The databases overview can't be used via the Safari browser, from iPhones / tablets. You can use another webbrowser eg. Firefox instead.

Browser support
The minimal browser requirements to use EBSCO databases are: the latest version or one previous version of the browser. This may also be the case for other databases.

Search systems and tools
Besides the library catalogue, these are main search systems / tools to find documentary information: the improved databases overview, E-Publication Finder and three browsertools: Lean Library, LibKey Nomad and EndNote Click. See the Toolguide for more information.
 

Library app
The push notifications of the H/Library app is not functioning properly. The library is aware of this, unfortunately we depend on an external supplier. In February there will be an update of the app. As soon as the update is available, we will communicate this through the library website and social media.
