Wageningen UR Libraries
As a student at Wageningen, you have undoubtedly used the facilities at the Wageningen UR Library. You can continue to use the library services after you graduate, depending on where you are working. If you remain at Wageningen UR, then nothing will change. If you work elsewhere, or become self-employed, then you will no longer have access to all databases, full-text books and journals. This is due to the restrictions of the licenses that the library has with the publishers of these products. In the Digital Library, this limitation is shown with a padlock icon or with text.
However, there are a number of services you can continue to use:
My Library
You can continue to check out books and renew them online via a My Library account. Make sure that your new email address is registered with the lending counter at the library (you can do this by sending an email to the service desk, or you can change it yourself in your My Library account). You can also request photocopies from journal articles, not only from our own collection, but from libraries throughout the Netherlands: click here.
The catalogues and a number of bibliographic databases are freely available. If you need literature for your personal use, i.e. for your work or study, and you come in person to one of the library offices (for example the Forum or the Leeuwenborch), then as a library visitor you can use all of the available sources, also those for which access is restricted to Wageningen UR.
WaY – Wageningen Yield
With Wageningen Yield (WaY), you can see who is publishing what at Wageningen UR. WaY includes all publications authored or co-authored by Wageningen UR staff. For Wageningen University, publications are available from 1976 onwards, for the Institutes, from 1995 onwards (sometimes earlier). Links to full-text documents are added when available. The database is updated daily and currently has more than 110,000 references.
