Writing guidelines

The Leiden University Library (UBL) has more to offer to lecturers than you might think. The UBL can provide you with general rules for copyright in Blackboard, information skills training for your students, or the option of using library collections as part of your teaching.

If you have a question about the University website, or if you wish to post an announcement or report content-related changes, please contact the web editors of your faculty or unit.
