AI Research Assistant
You can also use our AI research assistant to help you find sources.
In Kaluga, it can be found in two places; there is a button at the top of the screen, and on the right side of the page, you have a widget.
You can search there in Dutch or English with a prompt.
The research assistant will search for an answer for you in the sources in our collection. You will then see an overview, indicating the source of the information. You can click through to the sources to read them in their entirety.
