Almost all users on campus were unable to access  the network and the ICT services for 1.5 hours on campus.People who were studying or working at home were not affected by the interruption.

We regret the error and we will do everything we can to prevent it happening again in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. If you have questions, please contact the Service Desk in your building.

Filling in the questions shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes!

During the introduction week the TU Delft Library launched the Library Tour app. It’s is of great use to all students, whether you’re new at TU Delft or not. The app provides you with a comprehensive introduction to what the Library has to offer. Whenever you want and at your own pace. From how to reserve a group project workspace to where the awesome massage chairs are located.

How does it work?
The app uses iBeacons technology. iBeacons are small transmitters that use Bluetooth to send targeted information to mobile phones in the vicinity. A total of 15 iBeacons have been positioned throughout the Library. Once a student has installed the app and is within range of an iBeacon, they receive a notification or are directly provided with relevant information about their current location and the available services. This can be either practical or nice-to-know information.

Download the Library Tour app for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Search for “tu delft library” or click the buttons below.
