Did you know that Microsoft Teams offers tools to support student group work? A main benefit is that group work takes place in a licensed and managed environment, rather than relying on free tools, such as Google docs.
Maastricht University (UM) and Radboud University (RU) joined forces to bring their most remarkable heritage objects into the digital spotlight. Through the Open Topstukken Project, both universities digitised and shared 15 key objects, making them accessible, findable and reusable to researchers, students, and the public worldwide.
During the Weekend van de Wetenschap (Weekend of Science), visitors were invited into the wonderful world of butterflies. The University Library participated with the activity “Butterflies through the eyes of science and art”, where science, art, and history beautifully came together to inspire both young and old.
Whether you are preparing a thesis study, running course evaluations, collecting feedback after an event, or conducting research, Qualtrics provides a flexible and reliable space for data collection and analysis.
Working towards the academic library of the future
At Maastricht University (UM) Library, we collaborate with partners across the Netherlands to make research data and digital collections easier to find, connect, and reuse.
Our library experts collaborate with universities, heritage institutions, and national organisations to improve the interaction between research systems and data. They do this through national networks such as the Dutch Interoperability Network (DIN), the Linked Data in Research working group (within the National Coordination Point for Research Data Management, LCRDM), and the Dutch Digital Heritage (NDE) Linked Data Group.
Together, we explore ways to make research information more open, connected, and reusable. This includes linking research data across disciplines and connecting digital heritage collections so they can be discovered and used in new ways.
By co-leading and contributing to these national initiatives, the UM Library helps build a more open and future-proof research environment. This means that researchers gain easier access to high-quality, reusable data and new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
...that last week was International Open Access Week?The University Library provides comprehensive support for Open Access publishing. We can help you select the right journals, navigate publisher deals, access paywalled publications, and understand copyright and licensing. We're here to assist you in making your research more visible, accessible, and impactful.
