Serieus gaming materials

Zernike Hanze Library has an extensive collection of educational games, such as: introduction, energizers, giving feedback, conducting discussions, etc. The games can be borrowed for 3 weeks.

Walk-in consultation hours

The information specialists of the Hanze Library organize a daily walk-in consultation hour, where students can go with their questions about the use of the databases or for help with literature research.

Normally walk-in consultations take place in the library, every working day between 11:30 and 13:30.

Due to the Corona measures, a digital version of walk-in consultation hour has been created, which also takes place every working day via Blackboard Collaborate, between 11:30 and 12:30.

For current information about the consultation hours, please consult our website or the library guides.

How can I see where I can find a book in the shelf?

If you search the catalog for the title of a book or magazine, you can see where it is located.

In the title overview, scroll to: Check availability. For example, here you see the following

You will first see Zernike (ter inzage), with 1 copy below. This book has an N for Not lendable on the back, you may only use it in the library.

Below it is Zernike (normal loan). You can borrow these two copies and use them at home for a period of three weeks (or longer if you extend them via the app).

The location code of the book can be found under Call Number. Each book has such a location code, and in the libraries the books are sorted by these codes (in the cabinet it goes from 000-999). Books related to a theme fall under the same location code, so they are conveniently grouped together. Research it yourself in the catalog, or ask an employee for more information!

What are the Library Guides?

Currently (July 2020) we have the following Library Guides for Zernike courses. We also have Library Guides on topics that are useful for all study programs, such as Literature Research, PubMed, RefWorks and many more. Take a look at the English guides overview:

Silent Study Area

Zernike Hanze Library has a spacious silent study area with 70 study places.

However, due to the Corona measures the capacity of the study room has been reduced, in order to facilitate safe study places.

Returning materials

Zernike Library has a return device (drop box) that is located just outside the library next to the entrance. You can hand in the borrowed materials there, even outside the opening hours of the library. The materials are immediately collected from your student card.
