News Law Library (RBL)

After enabling MFA, you may encounter a common issue, especially if you have already used the same browser for MFA with other institutions (such as KULeuven). Preferably, create different user profiles in Google Chrome.

Starting from April 2024, students and staff of Hasselt University will have access to two e-book packages from Edward Elgar Publishing Company: the Essentials in European Law and the Elgar Advanced Introductions to Law Online.

As of 1 April 2024 students and faculty of Hasselt University have access to the full online journal portfolio (some 420 titles) published by Cambridge University Press.

As of 28 March the University Library offers on and off campus access to 18 law related titles from the Oxford University Press Very Short Introductions collection.

On Wednesday, March 11, introduction sessions for PXL students will take place in the Limburg Law Library.

The RBL aims to optimally fulfill its role as an accessible meeting point. Therefore, we have recently introduced a number of new features. The two brand-new 'co'lab boxes' at the back of the library are ideally suited for all kinds of group work activities. In the social space (the 'm'eating room'), you can relax or have a chat, but also eat your own brought lunch or drink coffee.

Earlier this year, the shareholders of the legal database Jurisquare decided to discontinue the service via the platform. This means that for UHasselt, after the current license expires on January 5, 2024, lecturers, researchers, and students will no longer have access to this database.

Starting on October 1st 2023, the University Library will grant on-campus access to the legal database LexNow. Here, you can access books and journals from a range of legal publishers, including Anthemis, die Keure / la Charte, LeA Uitgevers, Boom Juridisch, Politeia, and Story Publishers.

UHasselt recently acquired an online subscription to the Omnilegie database. The so-called 'blue codes (Blauwe Wetboeken) of Die Keure' serve as the foundation for this database.

On Monday, 21st November, UHasselt will transition to the digital press database Belga.press. From now on, you will have access to the consolidated content of all Belgian news brands through this online news platform.

During the international Open Access Week 2022, the Belgian universities, in collaboration with the Royal Library, are organizing the event 'Open Science: connecting the actors', on November 21, 2022 in the Royal Library in Brussels.
