The UAB libraries are launching a new search engine: https://www.uab.cat/biblioteques/ that will allow you to discover and access both the electronic documents available and those that we have on paper in libraries: books, journals, articles, thesis, and more.

Some of the main novelties are:

  • The different versions of the same document are grouped together.
  • It shows the available documents: on line or on paper.
  • It also offers the possibility to expand the results.
  • It has a filter for open access documents, as a tool to improve their visibility.
  • Better usability: faster downloads and options in the management of results.
  • Searches can be saved and news can be received.

And, as before, it is necessary to authenticate with your NIU and password to:

  • Access from off-campus to payment e-resources subscribed by the libraries.
  • Access to ‘My account’.
  • Book and renew documents on loan.
  • Save favourite records and searches.

We are working on to improve and adjust some of the features it offers.
