If you're off campus, it's recommended to install a VPN on your device. This allows you to securely access certain services and TiU servers—such as sending print jobs to campus printers. For this application, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is used.
You can more information on our Virtual Private Network page.
Library databases are essential for the InfoSkills test, which you'll need to take if InfoSkills is included in your program. To ensure you can view the full text of articles and e-books, you must use the special EZproxy links listed in the Database list on the Tilburg University Library website.
These are the only links that will give you full-text access, because they identify you as a TiU student or staff member after you log in with your university credentials. For more information on EZproxy, see the library's EZproxy page.
Planning to take the InfoSkills test on campus? In that case, you don’t have to use the EZproxy links—on-campus access usually works automatically.
Since many of the databases you'll need to search for the test come from external providers, we can’t guarantee they’ll always be available or free of errors. That’s why it’s a good idea to start early and aim to take the test during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00). Support is only available during these hours, so if you run into any issues, that’s the best time to reach out. You can contact us at infoskills@tilburguniversity.edu.
