The University Library is an important service provider of and for Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR). We are more than a study space or lending desk: we are a central place for meeting and exchanging knowledge. We support researchers, students, and lecturers in acquiring and sharing knowledge. In addition, our building offers students a place for collaboration, study, and relaxation.
As the university’s content manager, we ensure the sustainable recording and accessibility of the scientific output of EUR and Erasmus Medical Center (EMC). We manage online databases and provide access to scientific publications and data from around the world. We offer tools and platforms for scholarly publications and maintain (special) collection items such as academic and cultural heritage, literature, and art.
What we do
The University Library supports the academic community at every stage of the research and learning process. From advising on copyright, dataset use, or publication funds, to increasing the visibility of scholarly output and our extensive (online) collection: we guide our community through a world of information.
