What is My Study Programme Databases?

In this tile, you'll find a list of the most important subject-specific bibliographic databases for your current study programme. If you start a specialisation or a different study programme, you'll notice that the selection changes accordingly.

These databases are not the only important ones throughout your studies. In the tile My Databases, you can find the most used multi-disciplinary databases, as well as some other useful resources for students.

All other databases can be browsed and accessed through the Library Database Finder.

My loans & reservations

To see and manage your current loans and reservations, you go to your account in WUR Library Search.

Books you borrow are renewed automatically: up to 3 times for students and up to 10 times for staff, unless someone else makes a reservation. Read this article for more information on borrowing books. 

Off-campus access for WUR staff and students

Additionally, when WUR staff and students log in to MyLibrary with their WUR account, they'll have off-campus access to licenced resources through the Library website, including online books, journals, and databases.
