University Maastricht
Centre Céramique Maastricht
Jan van Eyck Academie
Socio-Historical Centre of Limburg
Zuyd | hogeschool
Mondriaan Zorggroep
Province Limburg
IHOL was established to improve the provision of scientific information in the province of Limburg. To achieve this objective IHOL implements various activities.

The IHOL Library network
The institutions participating in IHOL all have one or more libraries. The libraries have been organised into a communal network - the IHOL Library network.

The Limburg Regional Catalogue
The Limburg Regional Catalogue contains reference to the entire collection of all IHOL libraries. A single search of this catalogue will cover a very large part of the scientific publications available in the province of Limburg.

The IHOL pass
The IHOL pass is a library pass that provides access to all IHOL libraries. The IHOL pass is primarily intended for students and staff of IHOL institutions. They receive the pass free of charge through the library of the institution they belong to. But others may also obtain an IHOL pass. They need to become a member of the Maastricht City Library, which is located in the Centre Céramique in Maastricht.

Projects
IHOL also executes a number of projects. The projects are aimed at improving the quality of the provision of scientific information.
