Library

When creating a lesson, a teacher will have to deal with copyright issues. How to include videos, texts, and images in a (digital) reader? And how uploading them to the digital learning environment? 

The so-called Easy Access agreement allows you to publish short excerpts of copyrighted content in readers or in Moodle without permission.

Main rules for Short excerpts:

• Text: maximum 50 pages to 25% of the whole.
• Images: maximum 10 from the same author, maximum 25 from one work, maximum 50 in your presentation or text.
• Always cite the source!

Lean Library Access is a browser extension that you can add to your favorite browser. This Library Access browser extension makes it simple to access academic articles, journals and databases licensed by Zuyd Library, wherever you are and whenever you need it.

When using the work of others, a correct reference to the source is mandatory. The most commonly used reference style in the Netherlands is the APA style. 

Starting in the academic year 2021/2022, a new edition of APA will be used in higher education: APA7. Compared to APA6, there are approximately 20 revised and new APA guidelines in APA7. 

Seven info clips have also been developed on the (new) APA guidelines.

To cope with the ever-increasing pressure on the University Library services, the Maastricht University needs to take measures. As from 1 January 2019, the access policy will change.

Free memberships will end on 1 January 2019.
Subsequently access for non-UM users is only possible on appointment and with a visitor card. This 'visitor card' will cost €10,-. There is a limited amount of visitor cards a day available.

More information on the ‘visitor card’ and the options can be found on the library's website, https://library.maastrichtuniversity.nl/services/librarycard-membership/

New design
As from September 17, the Zuyd Library website has been given a new look. In terms of content, much has remained the same. With the DiZ search bar you can still search directly for Zuyd information sources. Also the website remains the portal to the LibGuides per subject area.

No more e-sources database
The previous e-sources database will not come back on the library site. This tool has been replaced by a concise Databases A-Z overview. This A-Z list gives direct access to all databases selected by Zuyd Library.

The HBO Kennisbank (HBO Knowledge Base) has been renewed! More than 10 years after the launch it was time for a renewal. In addition to a new design to increase the accessibility of research publications, the affiliated hogescholen want to put even more emphasis on open access publishing. And thus inspire people and stimulate the reuse of research. Zuyd Library is in line with this development with the Open Access Publishing retro project.
