Upcoming events

UM Library Deep Dive

The library offers a wide range of services and support for the UM-community. However, it can be difficult to understand what a specific service or support can mean for you. So, what would be better than to hear from your fellow students, teacher or researcher? In the first episode of our new video series "UM Library Deep Dive" Constance Sommery (Director Diversity Office), Darian Meacham (Associate Professor of Philosophy at FASoS) and Charlotte van Gompel (student FHML) share their experiences with the use of our DIY Podcast Studio.

Did you know...

... that some of the old editions of the lendable FPN, FHML, and SBE books, as well as books from the study landscape, are donated to Boeken voor Mensen (Books for People)? In the Boekenkelder (book cellar), these books are offered for sale at a small cost. The proceeds from the book sales go to charitable causes. This is also interesting for students who don’t mind having an older edition of a book. You can purchase the book here for a few euros.
