Aalborg University's popular Project Library changes its name to AAU Student Projects.

This goes hand in hand with a system change to Primo, which is already used by Aalborg University Library, and which provides the opportunity for better information search and dissemination of the many student projects that are published each year at AAU.

The goal is to make it even easier for users to navigate the more than 70,000 student projects from Aalborg University that are currently available online at AAU Student Projects.

- Student projects are a gold mine of knowledge for both students, researchers and the outside world, who, among other things, are looking for inspiration for new projects. We experience a huge interest in diving into the many projects that come from all branches of the university, and we are therefore happy to be able to give users access to more precise search results, says Søren Vidmar from the VBN team, who has been working on the new portal:

- In addition, with the transition to Primo, we can offer a more up-to-date user interface that makes it easier to use the system, while giving an improved visual experience, he adds.

He hopes that AAU Student Projects will already provide a better user experience and emphasizes that the VBN team continues to work on improving the new portal.

- To help users get started, we in the VBN team have created a help page, and we would also very much like to be contacted with feedback, so that we can continue to improve the portal, says Søren Vidmar.
