Libraries > Services > Information dissemination

The Website

Together with the libraries’ blogs, the website informs about the resources and services which the Libraries Service offers, in a preferential fashion to the university community. The news and bibliographic novelty sections aim to keep our users informed.

 

The Guides

Given their intended purpose they are organized in 7 different collections:

  • Libraries guides: They provide general and specific information about the areas and contents of each and every library
  • Services: Series dedicated to the services offered to the libraries, i.e. loans.
  • Catalogue: They contain general and specific information on how to search the catalogue.
  • How to find: They explain how to find a certain documental typology or a given physical device within the different resources at the Libraries Service.
  • Research tools: On tools and resources specially intended for research.
  • Subject resources: Information resources on a give subject or specific title.
  • Databases: Guides on the contents, features and functions of given databases.

 

Blogs

They are organized by subject and in a dinamic fashion they spread the news and novelties related to the field, as well as the Library’s contents and resources. They aim to create a participation channel with the user with a view to learning about the user’s needs and providing a reponse to them.
