About the Library
The core task of the library is to share and disseminate knowledge. By developing and maintaining a state-of-the-art knowledge infrastructure, WUR Library contributes to the effectiveness of the research and education at WUR.

The Library's Education Support team teaches information literacy in most Bachelor programmes. The team has developed an extensive and complete elearning curriculum on 21st century information skills. The team encourages and supports teachers to share and manage online educational materials.

Research Support
The information specialists support researchers in all phases of the scientific cycle. This ranges from support with setting up search strategies to find scientific literature, and analysing citations and research assessment, to sharing and publishing research results. The Library's open access team supports WUR authors in publishing their research results in open access. The research data management team offers practical guidance, support and advice on managing research data. The Research Information team takes care of the registration of WUR's research output in Research@WUR. Contact our information specialists.
Digital Library Solutions
The Digital Library Solutions's team is responsible for the library information systems, which includes integrating and configuring existing software and creating new applications. In addition, information is made available, for example in the research and information system Pure, in which all WUR output is registered.
Collections
The Collections section takes care of the management and development of the various collections within the library. This mainly concerns the purchase of e-resources and licenses. The hardcopy collections and special material will be digitised as much as possible over the next years, to allow for better accessibility and to keep them readily available in the long term.
