Information competencies and services

As a student or employee, you can make free use of the large and up-to-date collection of (e-)books, databases, games, educational materials, (e-)journals and multimedia materials. We are fully committed to flexibility: after signing in Limo, you can access a large digital collection whether you are on the campus or not. Found a item that not digitally available? Choose through Limo where you want to pick up the materials and get started with them with your team or in your class! Place your request for loan on demand or scan on demand. Returning materials? That can be done at your campus of choice.

And there's more! You can request physical items of the collection of the libraries of the KU Leuven Association. After registering in Limo, you can place an application to borrow materials from these libraries for free in CoCon.
