News & Agendas

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new service to facilitate booking an appointment with a member of the ULiège Library team.

The Philosophy and Communication library will be closed from February 10 to 22, due to work on changing the window frames. 

At the end of January 2025, the EBSCO search interface is getting a makeover. Access a new, simpler and more accessible interface for your searches and (re)discover the online resources that ULiège Library gives you access to on this platform: databases, articles, ebooks, reports, etc.

The multi-factor authentication (MFA) will soon be mandatory to use the ULiège VPN. Don't forget to activate it to avoid being blocked!

Does your service or laboratory have a collection of books that you would like to make available to students and university colleagues? Presto can help.

The Science Library will be closed, from Monday January 27 to Friday January 31, due to the inconvenience caused by the B6b renovation works.

You will still be able to borrow documents by reserving them via the catalog and returning them to another library.

The University of Liège's Open Science Day, held on 7 November, brought together more than eighty participants to discuss innovative initiatives promoting the opening up of science to all. The event highlighted ULiège's commitments and the diversity of projects undertaken by its community, reflecting the impact of open science on research, education and society.

Last December, an article in Nature magazine announced that, in 2023 alone, 10,000 articles had been withdrawn from several scientific journals due to fraud. This figure is just the tip of the “Fake Science” iceberg.

The proliferation of questionable, if not fraudulent, articles calls into question the very relevance of the prevailing economic models for disseminating research.

From Monday December 2 to Friday January 24, the "cramming period" policy will be applied to libraries and study rooms to enable you to study in the best possible conditions.

• During this period, study in the library is reserved for ULiège and CHU members due to the overcrowding. Your student card gives you access to our areas and services: remember to take it with you on every visit. You may be asked to show it at any time.
• You must reserve seats in some of our libraries (see below).

€493,935 were paid by researchers in 2023 as APC (Article Processing Charges), an average of €2,297 per article! This represents an increase of 12.8% compared with 2022. Colossal sums lost for scientific research. However, solutions do exist to bring the bill down.
