The Library provides access to a large number of databases. Databases contain literature and information published by publishers. In addition, the quality and relevance, has been checked in advance. But how do you know which databases are most relevant to your study? From now on, you will find the answer in your faculty’s database guide.
The database guide contains an introduction. The subjects in this introduction correspond with the subjects in the A-Z list digital sources / databases on the library website. First the essential databases are listed. These databases are explained in the online library training Bibits. Next, the important databases are listed. Finally, simultaneous search is mentioned.
For each databases guide a short link has been created, easy to remember and to share. You can also print the guide (on one double-sided A4). Go to the database guide, clink on the three dots in the top right corner and select Download as pdf.

License renewal and update ATLAS.ti
23-03-2020
The current license to use ATLAS.ti expires on March 30th. The program warns some time in advance that the license will expire, but can still be used with the old license key for 3 weeks longer. In addition, the agreement has been renewed for another
year. Users who have installed the program on their own computer must enter the new license key in this way: start ATLAS.ti, click on Options, then on ATLAS.ti and then on Set license.
The new license key can be found at the beginning of April
in the ATLAS.ti FAQ document, which can be downloaded here after logging in. Users who use ATLAS.ti again after a longer period of
time will not lose anything but only have to enter the new license key.
An update to the current version of ATLAS.ti 8.4 will be carried out on all university computers at the beginning of April. The project data on H: will of course be retained.
We recommend regularly making an (external) backup of projects via: File - Export - Project bundle (file
extension .atlproj).

An example is the chapter "Solidarity and Security in the EU Discourse on Aid" by Iliana Olivié and Aitor Pérez from the book "Aid Power and Politics". This is about the increased emphasis on security aspects in the delivery of (development) aid by Europe.
