With Metasearch you can search simultaneously for (e-) books, theses, research reports, traineeship reports and articles
Please note that the Metasearch engine does NOT cover all databases; especially the Dutch databases are currently not indexed.
The search functionality of the original source will be better than Metasearch. With the indexing to Metasearch some search functionality gets lost. Metasearch however is a good starting point when you don't know where to start with your topic.
Please give us your feedback and if anything is not working properly, please contact us via mail (preferably include a screenshot, this is helpful for us to analyse the problem)
When a book is not in the library collection you can make a request to borrow the book from another library in the Netherlands or you can ask the library to buy the book.
