New search feature in the library: get inspired by your favorite books!
Not sure which book to read next, or looking for “a book like this one”? Or maybe you want more books with the same atmosphere, style, or theme? From now on, it’s even easier – and more fun – to discover your next read in our collection with the help of the ‘Welkboek’ tool.
Welkboek inspires
On the website (in Dutch), our catalog PC in the library, and the public PCs, Welkboek now appears as a tile (entry point) on the website. This new feature gives you personalized reading suggestions. Discover surprising titles that perfectly match your taste, including books you might never have found otherwise. You can choose from four options: BookMatch, Themes, Mood, and World Travels (locations). Select one of the four entry points and let yourself be surprised by the different titles.
Extra search filters
To help you refine your search even further, you can apply certain filters to your results. Whether you enjoy gripping novels, thrilling mysteries, or informative non-fiction, this smart search feature will consistently help you find a book that suits your taste.
Easy reservations
The inspiration tool Welkboek only shows titles available in our collection. If you find a title through Welkboek, click the ‘Availability’ button in the top right. You’ll be taken to the SCHUNCK catalog, where you can place a reservation.
This newly developed software is initially focused on books for adults. For children, the BookMatch feature is already available, while the other buttons are still in development.
If you have any questions about using Welkboek, our staff at the library locations will be happy to assist you.
