Library

On this page we give you tips how to search and find online information in an effective way.

Important to note in advance:
If you access sources at home, use the 'home access links' in the Databases A-Z list. With these links, the following icon  is visible. These links are also included in your course's LibGuide.

A few tips:

• Add Lean Library Access to your browser. Library Access gives you access to information from Zuyd Library's many databases.
• Use our search engine DiZ = 'Search Information Sources Zuyd', a lot of online material that Zuyd Library licenses is available through DiZ.
• Use Google Scholar as an alternative to DiZ, but make sure your settings are adjusted so you can see which sources are accessible for Zuyd students and staff. Take a look at the info clip 'full text@Zuyd in Google Scholar'.
• A LibGuide is an online library guide in which all online sources relevant to a study programme have been put together. In the LibGuides overview choose your study programme's LibGuide.
• If you are unable to borrow a physical book on location, check a title (or search for a subject) via Google Books. On Google Books, you can read parts of books.
