Since GKN mainly contains information from professional journals, it's a good addition to the Library's scientific resources. You can use Groen Kennisnet to familiarize yourself with a research or thesis topic and with current developments and opinions in the field. Teachers can use the open learning modules and course material as a source of inspiration or as an addition to their courses.
