Our lab is located in room 084 at the TU Delft Library.

Topdesk: One Shop Stop customer service
TU Library implemented the Customer Service Management System Topdesk as a backend for their One Stop Shop Customer Service. A first step in becoming the most customer friendly academic library.
VR Zone (now XR Zone)
We extend the possibilities of reality with the use of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality technologies. We are here to become your portal to the immersive world of XR (extended reality) and to assist students, lecturers and researchers in using, building and exploring this tech in education and research.
Access anywhere with Lean Library
When you browse and search the internet for articles, journals or databases you may find content licensed by us. However, if you are not on campus or not connected to the campus network, the website you visit does not know and will not give you access to web pages or publications. Or worse, asks you to pay for access (paywall). In these cases, the Lean Library Browser Extension will automatically show you a notification and give you access to the licensed content offered by the library.
Data Repository
The TU Data Repository was launched on Fedora software and ran for 10 years before switching over to Figshare.
DataCite Netherlands
TU Delft Library is a founding member of DataCite and consortium leader of the TU Delft DOI Consortium. TU Delft Library has established DataCite Netherlands to serve as a central research dataset registration service that helps Dutch research organizations to register DOIs for scientific resources.
Information Skills BSc
In higher education and research efficently finding and judging relevant scientific information is critical. Information skills are essential for all students (Bachelor & Master) and for researchers. The TU Delft Library offers students courses to develop these information skills.
