Management and organisation

Mission

UAB libraries encourage the creation, dissemination, preservation and transfer of knowledge, so that it is open and accessible.

With our experience, we contribute to the success of the university and promote inclusion and sustainability.

Vision

UAB libraries are acknowledged for our capacity for innovation, our commitment to open science, our role as facilitators of change in the university, and our position as a reference in the professional environment.

Values

• We focus our activities and services on user's needs.
• We are committed  to sustainability.
• We are open-minded, forward-looking and embrace innovation.
• We integrate the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in all our actions.
• We act ethically, respectfully and with institutional responsibility.
• We encourage cooperation aimed to join forces and achieve shared goals.

To support study, teaching, research, and the transfer of knowledge in the social and cultural spheres, the libraries of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona are equipped with a significant collection of documentary resources and qualified staff.

The management of the service is overseen by the director, the heads of the Technical Unit of Projects, the various libraries, and the coordinators of transversal processes.

Users are represented in the General Committee of Users, and each library has its own user committee.

We regularly monitor quality indicators and subject them to both internal and external reviews and controls.

We are open and committed to serving our users, listening to their requests, suggestions, criticisms, and compliments.
