New! you can export records to Excel
You can now export items in Limo to Excel or in CSV-format.
This can be done for records in you results list, your saved items and your loaned items in "My Account".
Tip: if your records contain diacriticals, and you save the export in CSV format, then it is best to open the file in Notepad. If you yet want to open it in Excel, it is best to save it first with UTF-8 coding in Notepad.
Remember you can export a list of records this way: :
- Select the records you want to export by selecting the checkboxes before the thumbnails OR select the checkbox above the list in order to select the first 10 records. (In the results list, you can select up to 50 records at once. To do this, click the button: "CHOOSE TOP 50 RESULTS".)
- Click the button with the three dots on the right hand side, above the list.
- Select an export option.

Your search now gets more results - check what has changed in the last Limo release!
As a result of a recent Limo release, searching for e-resources (mainly articles and book chapters), will give you slightly different results than before. The main changes you can experience are:
- you will find more results for the same search than before. Indeed, more material is now indexed. But a second reason for the higher number of results is that a different search engine is used, that treats search terms differently and finds more results for the same query.
- also the ranking of the search results is not exactly the same as before, but it should be as good or better than before.
- a few resource types have been changed; you can now filter your results on Newspapers.
At this moment, there are few known issues:
- Links from records to the databases Web of Science and Scopus are currently not available, the citations in those databases are not displayed in the records.
- The filter on authors only works for catalogue records (mainly books and journals), not yet for most articles and books chapters.
- When you filter your results by Source, you will not see all sources listed for your results set.

Technical problem in Lirias
There currently seems to be a technical problem
- potentially not showing all of your publications in Lirias and not
providing all results when searching in Lirias. The
DSpace repository providing (your) full-texts is also offline, due to
a temporary dataserver problem.
We do our
utmost best to fix these issues as soon as possible. Our sincerest apologies
for this inconvenience.

Better performance for "My Saved Items"
You can save your search results temporarily or - if you are signed in - permanently in your e-shelf using the pin icon. This allows you to look at them, mail, print or export them later at your convenience.
Working with saved items was difficult when there were many items in the e-shelf. It took a long time to scroll the list. This is why the Load more results button has replaced the endless scrolling. This works faster.

Welcome to the new Limo version ! What's new ?
After some months of bèta testing, we switched to the new Limo version on January 31th,
Some tips & trics on this new version:
Some tips & trics on this new version:
- Will the old version still be available ?
Yes, via the button “Use previous version”. This button will be available until the beginning of September 2018.
- Can I remove the screen message: "We'd love to hear your feedback" ?
Yes you can by filling in the form and send the feedback. If you don't like to give feedback or have no opinion, you don't need to answer the questions. But ofcourse we hope to receive your comments, because they will allow us to make the system better. In order to be able to answer you about issues, your e-mail address is required. After the form is sent, Limo stores a setting on your local device so that the message doesn't popup again (unless you use another browser or remove your local storage).
- Will the records that I saved in “My Collection” be available in the new version ? Yes indeed. You will find them in “My Favorites” (Pin button in upper right corner). In the new Limo version, there are no folders, but you can organize your records by assigning labels to them. You can use the filter "Labels" on the right hand side of the screen to limit your records by label. Records you saved in a folder in the old Limo version will automatically get a label with the name of this folder.
- Will the searches I saved in the old version be available in the new version ?
No. But they will still be available in the old version until the beginning of September 2018. - I see saved searches in the old Limo version with the name "General”. Why is this ?
If you save searches in the new Limo version, these will also be saved in the old version but with the title "General". This is a temporary issue.
