Dear colleagues,

while our new students started to invade Maastricht during the INKOM in (again) tropical temperatures, you undoubtedly are busy preparing for the new academic year.
In this Library+ Education summer edition, we help you find your way (again) in library services and tools and update you on upcoming workshops and events. And, if you get inspired but need help making things happen, we hope you feel invited to contact us via Ask your Librarian.


Good luck with a fresh start!
The UM Library Education Support team

Familiarize your students with the availability of credible resources.
Facilities for education
Are you teaching or planning exams in the University Library in the upcoming period?
In that case, check out the library facilities and services for your education.
Integrating information literacy into your course
We support teachers in training students how to become information literate by offering information literacy skills modules that can be freely used by all UM teaching staff.

Lastly, we want to highlight some recently published items you might find interesting:
