On line Products PhD Dissertations The Bible and Dutch culture On-line Journals Other On-line Products PhD Dissertations Amsterdam University Press (AUP) and the University Library (UB) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have jointly realised the worldwide on-line availability of PhD dissertations and the delivery of printed copies by Printing on Demand. The UB has created a digital infrastructure for the archiving and making available of the scientific output of the UvA. Within the framework of the project UvA-DARE (see http://dare.uva.nl/) the UB makes the content of the PhD dissertations available in a worldwide network of scholarly institutions already sharing research resources. In this way, the international visibility of the PhD UvA dissertations has increased and can be accessed worldwide. AUP has added a service to UvA-DARE to deliver on a single-copy basis (via ‘Printing on Demand’) for the interested public anywhere on the planet. Besides, the dissertations will be printed in the volume that the PhD student needs for the examination ceremony. AUP will manage the production process, distribution and publicity, so that the dissertation will reach its audience. AUP will also ensure that the dissertation can be ordered in book stores and that all titles will be available through various international sites. Production and distribution will take place at the nearest printing facility, either in the USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands or Australia. More... The Bible and Dutch culture On November 20th 2002 Amsterdam University Press proudly introduced a new website: The Bible and Dutch culture. The Bible has had a great influence on present-day Western culture. However, our knowledge of the Bible has strongly declined in the last decade. As a result, an increasing number of people are losing touch with their own culture. Also our present-day multi-cultural society is getting more and more difficult to understand for those who have no knowledge of the influence the Bible on the Koran. Amsterdam University Press together with the Library of the University of Amsterdam has begun a project that intends to fill this knowledge gap. Accompanied by a new translation of the Bible, commentary and essays about the Bible will be collected on Internet and will focus on examining the impact of the Bible on Dutch culture. The different books of the Bible will be published in the next few years and the website will be kept up to date. This project will continue until 2006.
