Law Guide Blog - LibGuides at Erasmus University Rotterdam

HeinOnline has partnered with Fastcase, providing extra search tools to the database.

Fastcase is available in 2 forms; Basic and Premium. The EUR has access to Fastcase Basic, as that is included at no costs in our subscription.

Fastcase Basic provides

case law linking: linking to US case law within articles and documents
citation look-up: looking up case law in Fastcase
negative treatment indicator: when viewed in Fastcase, a negative treatment indicator will show whether the case was reversed or overturned on any grounds
scholar check, providing information on the number of articles a case has been cited in, with a direct link to the list of these articles

HeinOnline created a small libguide on the new research tools.

Max Planck Encyclopedias of International Law - Open To All

The Max Planck Encyclopedias of International Law are now open to everyone under a subscribe to open model (s2o).https://opil.ouplaw.com/home/MPILFrom the 1st of April 2025 until the end of March 2026, this resource will remain open and, depending on the renewal by subscribers, this will be extended by another year.What is the s20-model?The s2o model is an access model under which a publisher will make a work or resource publicly available, provided enough subscribers renew they subscription.In a way, the subscribers are responsible for paying for the open availability of the resource; if enough subscribers renew, then the resource remains 'publicly available'. On the other hand, the resource will return to ‘publicly not-available’ if too many subscribers fail to renew their subscription. ‘Leeching’ is therefore not rewarded.What are the Max Planck Encyclopedias of International Law?These are actually 2 enclyclopedias; - Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law- Max Planck Encyclopedia of International Procedural LawThe first resource is a long-time trusted and influential reference work on international law, highly recommended when researchers want to read up on a new topic.The second resource is quite new, launched in 2019, focusing on international procedural law.Have a look :)...

Financieele Dagblad - toegang tot digitale content

“Wij bieden sinds 1 januari geen toegang meer tot betaalde inhoud van de FD website. Het consortium van universiteiten en FD media (het bedrijf achter Het Financieele Dagblad) werden het niet eens over dataverzameling en privacy. Als u gebruik maakt van digitale bronnen die de Universiteitsbibliotheek aanbiedt, wordt uw data minimaal gedeeld en zoveel mogelijk geanonimiseerd. Om de FD website te gebruiken moeten gebruikers echter nog een account aan maken en akkoord gaan met voorwaarden van FD Media, waarin o.a. toestemming wordt gegeven voor het verzamelen van data. Met deze extra dataverzameling zijn de universiteiten niet akkoord gegaan. U kunt echter veel van de artikelen uit Het Financieele Dagblad ook vinden in Nexis Uni:Ga naar https://libguides.eur.nl/nexisuni.Klik op Bronnen, te vinden rechts in de bovenste balk.Vul "Het Financieele Dagblad" in de zoekbalk onder Zoek bronnen en druk op het vergrootglas icoontjeKlik op Het Financieele Dagblad in de zoekresultaten. De artikelen zijn vervolgens geordend op datum: nieuwste eerst.Let wel: Nexis Uni bevat alleen de tekst van artikelen. Toegang tot bepaalde artikelen van freelancers en andere bronnen binnen Het FD (bijv. columns en advertenties) zijn niet altijd beschikbaar.”Helaas heeft FD Media besloten hun content uit nieuwsdatabanken, zoals NexisUni, te verwijderen.Hierdoor kunnen we de digitale content van het Financieele Dagblad ook niet via een andere partij aanbieden....

Financieele Dagblad (FD) License will not be renewed.

Due to a breakdown in negotiations between FD Media and SURF B.V., the University Library’s EUR license with FD Media for the Financieele Dagblad (FD) will not be renewed. SURF negotiates with various publishers on behalf of universities and universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. The reason for the breakdown in negotiations is that FD Media does not meet SURF's requirements regarding privacy and anonymous access. EUR's access to the FD will end on 1 January 2025. More information For questions or comments, please contact M.H. Holwerda, Head of Collection Management & Access, University Library.
