Welcome to the new English library website
- 16 June 2008
- Leiden's university libraries have launched the new English website. The website will be a one-to-one translation of the Dutch library website. At its launch the new website contains mainly practical information such as library news, locations, opening hours, facilities and access to catalogues and databases. Over the next period of time the website will be gradually extended with further translations of the Dutch website.
- So far, English information about the libraries was lacking or difficult to find, whereas demand is great. The libraries have therefore opted to launch the one-to-one translation of the Dutch website in stages, so that English information can be published as soon as available. The English library website provides a growing amount of elaborate information on the many services and collections offered by the university libraries in general, and links to individual library websites that are available in English.
