Nino is an excellent place to do research in Ancient Near Eastern Studies within the Netherlands but especially also beyond. Its relocation and organisational transformation would lead to great disadvantages for students, researchers and non-specialists alike.

Voor een paar schamele euro's offeren deze rekenmeesters een unieke collectie op. Het prachtige gebouw moet ook tegen de vlakte. Wat een kortzichtigheid, wat een kapitaalvernietiging, wat een minachting voor ons culturele erfgoed.

I think that the library should be kept separate from the main library

NINO has been one of the primary movers in the study of the ancient Near East, and its independence has permitted it to advance fields which traditional universities have been less eager ti support. In other words, NINO has helped to make Near Eastern Studies what it is today, and any diminution of that status will severely harm the field.

Het NINO moet blijven, pluriformiteit binnen universiteiten is erg belangrijk. Een student moet wat te kiezen hebben en wetenschap zou niet beoordeeld moeten worden op financiën.

The NINO library is renowned around the world for its first-class collection of books dealing with the ancient and modern Near East. Inclusion of the NINO into the UB structure will ùndoubtedly result in a more austere acquisition policy (and possibly even in a closing of the NINO all together). This has already happened to the library of the Archaeological department and of Instituut Kern. Both collections are now located somewhere in the basement of the UB (and still require re-rorganization).

The NINO library and the NINO publications are among the very best in the world. They are extremely important for the continuation of the Egyptological and Ancient Near Eastern sciences in the Netherlands.

NINO is beter af om semi onafhankelijk te blijven. De studenten en researchers hebben er meer baat bij om dit niet te integreren bij de Universiteitsbibliotheek van Leiden waar het zijn waarde voor een groot deel verliest.

NINO is a world-famous institution committing itself to disseminating the knowledge of the Ancient Near East worldwidely, also through its web-resources. Its transformation will be a loss to all its colleagues.

The NINO library is the best in Europe as concerns ANE studies.
The NINO is essential for ANE Dutch research.

The NINO has always served as a centre for Assyriology and Egyptology not only in the Netherlands but worldwide, and its library is one of the best I know. This can only be maintined if the NINO survives as an institution with an independent management and librarians devoted to the fields just as is the case now. NINO is important for the future of our fields !

I wish I could leave a truely well crafted comment about the NINO, and what it means to Egyptology in the Netherlands, (and ofcourse the other studies as well), but I'll keep it simple. University Leiden: Could you please not??

I am Egyptian and I came to the NL to study the history of my own country, Why? Because Leiden has NINO. NINO was simply the paradise for me. NINO is far better place to study compared to the main library and the library of the museum. Please save NINO. Keep NINO running as we saw it for the past seven years.

I'm against this plan that puts in jeopardy the long-term future of Egyptology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies in the Netherlands.
