Online and offline reading pilot with Wageningen Academic Publishers

The pilot project

The pilot runs from 1 October 2019 until 31 December 2019. During the pilot articles and books from Wageningen Academic Publishers can be read online and/or offline through a built-in eReader on the publisher’s website.

In this pilot, WUR Library and Wageningen Academic Publishers are working together to ensure fair use of licensed e-journals and e-books. The eReader enables WUR students and staff to share articles and books with people from within WUR.
