Tips on how to start:
- Are you working off-campus and have you not yet downloaded the Lean Library browser extension? Please do so first.
- Search for 'Nexis Uni' under the 'N' in the TU Delft Library databases A-Z list and click on 'Nexis Uni'. If you are an off-campus user who has downloaded and enabled the extension, and you visit a website with TUD-licensed content, the extension will be triggered (a pop-up notification indicating TUD access). You will then be prompted to log in with your NetID. You have gained access to the newspaper database.
- Find Nexis Uni under the ‘N’ in the TU Delft Library databases A-Z list
- When you haven't used the website before, it's best to click on 'Continue as a guest' first. This way, you'll be using the database as an 'anonymous TU user.'
- If you want to create your own account to save searches, etc., you can do so later by creating a profile on the website's homepage under 'Log In | Register.' If you register, you can save favourite sources, searches and settings.
Tips on how to read today’s news:
- Menu > all sources > [name newspaper] > … > retrieve sources > show today/new on top
- Search > [language] e.g. Dutch > select group of sources (e.g. Dutch National Newspapers) > show today/new on top
- If you receive a link to an article on Facebook, X or email and you cannot open it > copy the title to Nexis Uni and get access
- The date range and update schedule differ per source. You will get access to the articles as plain text. The PDF shows the article in the original format, however pictures might be blurred.
Tips on how to search the database:
- Use de-duplication to improve results
- Use boolean operators*
*The 3 most important Boolean operators that can be used to search on the internet are AND, OR and NOT. These operators are used as conjunctions to combine or exclude search terms in a search, resulting in more focused and productive results. The use of these operators can significantly reduce or expand the number of results delivered. Boolean operators are useful to save time by searching for more targeted results that are better suited to your needs, eliminating unsuitable results.
Example: You are looking for documents that are about apples, but the term pears should not be used. Your search = apples NOT pears. Source: Ghent University
