9.6. University library The University Library is part of the Library and Archive. The library serves two purposes: • Information services: books and magazines on a great number of research areas are available in different ways: on-line, hard copy, loaning, only on inspection. • Study facilities: the library offers several study facilities: study areas, private study rooms, study rooms for groups and computer facilities. With a valid student card, students are entitled to use all library facilities including signing out of books of the full university collection. Information about lending or ordering publications outside the regular university collection can be requested at the library information counters. The on-line catalogue of the university library, comprising the full collection of the university, can be accessed through the internet (http://www.utwente.nl/ub). Furthermore, other catalogues, online databases and search engines can be found at this site. Most magazine volumes of recent years and even some books can be digitally accessed all over the campus. Further digitalising is in progress. At the moment, the University collection is spread over a number of faculty libraries and one central library. In time, all faculty libraries will be transferred to the central library. The collection concerning ChE is located in the central library in the Vrijhof.
