Students and staff at Erasmus University have access to many resources like articles and handbooks. Most sections of the Library Guide provide an overview of the available resources for a specific legal field, grouped by subject.
This section is different: it lists the tools to use these resources.
The library also provides instructions on using these tools; guides on how to search catalogues, practical writing and citing tips, how to prepare for research, the how to use metrics for both reviewing and publishing. Please visit our Information Skills.
When a library or institution does not own the sources needed, there are 3 options; private purchase, institutional purchase, and Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
ILL is the system through which libraries exchange documents and resources in their collection. The system is limited by pre-arranged agreements regarding the services, which differ from library to library.
The Erasmus University Library also participates in this system: Borrowing from another library

The Altmetric Explorer lets you perform analyses and generate reports for Altmetric attention data - how have research outputs research been shared, discussed and reused online?
Altmetrics (alternative metrics) are an alternative for or complement to traditional citation impact metrics. Altmetrics especially capture online attention - how have research outputs (articles, data sets, etc) been shared, discussed and reused online -, for example on X, in scholarly blogs or policy documents, in newspapers.
After running a search query for research outputs, you can browse through the Explorer's analysis tools to view detailed demographics, attention over time, individual mentions, and more.
