Databases news and issues

Databases of the week

From the 2025-2026 academic year onwards, the library catalogue homepage will be the starting point for finding information. The most important systems are: searching the catalogue, database overview, E-Publication Finder and the tools for accessing full text. See also the Tool Guide for more information.
 

ScienceGuide
This news source is now accessible to all THUAS staff and students via SURFconext, by clicking on our institutional logo. ScienceGuide provides independent Dutch-language news about higher education, science and the knowledge sector.
 

InTechOpen
We have removed this public site from our database overview and Full Text Finder, because multiple external sources and UASs indicate that InTechOpen is a so-called predatory publisher.
 

Company.info
In September, the new SBI 2025 will be introduced. This will change the SBI code of about three quarters of the KVK registrations. Company.info will ensure that the new SBI is processed in the database in the morning of 10 September.
  

CROW
The submodules in de CROW Online Kennisbank are showing an error. Temporary workaround: go to the database and then in the URL you see, replace the last part: /Guest/Welcome with: /kennismodule
 

NEN Connect
It is no longer possible to download standards from this database, you can only view them online. Teachers who still need a printed/downloaded standard can contact the library.
 

Brightmine
This HRM database (formerly called XpertHR) is unavailable due to renewal of the platform. Brightmine is expected to be accessible again in November, via a different URL.
