How to search the library tips and tricks
The Nyenrode Library team is here to help you navigate our (digital) collection and find the information you need.
To get started, watch our short introduction video, which explains the basics of using the library, including how to search for literature and access key resources.
Additional information about the use of various databases can be found in Canvas. You will need your Nyenrode login to access these pages. The pages can be found here.
How do I search for A-quality journals?
To assess a journal's quality, Nyenrode uses the Association of Business Schools' Academic Journal Guide. This list contains over 1400 scientific magazines in the fields of management and business on a scale of one to four (low to high). You can check the quality of your journal as follows:
- Registrer and log on to: Academic journal guide
- You are being redirectes to the ABS homepage.
- Click on the Academic Journal Guide to see the list.
Searching for articles or journals
Using EBSCO Discover! Search engine, you can search for articles in all of Nyenrode Library's databases, as well as some open-source databases. See the demo Searching in Discover. One search may result in articles from EBSCO, ScienceDirect, or Emerald. You can access the journal article database via the list of information sources. If you cannot find an article in our library, you can order a copy through the inter-library loan service by sending an email (library@nyenrode.nl) or selecting the order form in EBSCO. You can check whether a journal is available by selecting the 'journal finder' on the left side of EBSCO Discover! This will help you find our subscriptions and available volumes.
EBSCO app for literature studies
You have the possibility to search for magazine articles on EBSCO's app, allowing easy access via smartphone or tablet. Please note: this app only allows you to search in the EBSCO database.. Follow the steps below to install the app:

Tip: EBSCO allows you to search by 'cited references'. This lets you know which articles refer to the article of your interest. You can find more information about this service on the EBSCO page.
Search and lend books
In the Nyenrode Library you can find books and other printed information. You can look for what you need using the "Find literature" from Information sources.

Payment will be requested via Tikkie after you have successfully received the material.
Renewing Loans
