BASIC CATALOGUE USE
All of the University Library's collections and holdings are listed in our catalogue
both those in paper and other physical formats
and the electronic resources.
If you have the basic data to find a specific document,
you will find it easily and quickly.
You can perform a simple search through keywords.
Usually the data you know are the title and author of the work.
For example, to find the book Marketing de los servicios by Ildefonso Grande,
just type some words from its title and the last name of its author.
As soon as you start writing in the search box,
it will suggest you to search in the TITLE field.
This is one of the options.
If you add the author,
the book will usually appear among the first results.
In the results screen in the left column,
there is the filter BIBLIOTECAS DE TODO EL MUNDO,
since our catalogue is part of the OCLC’s WorldCat Union Catalogue.
However, the default option limits your results to the UPV/EHU,
since it is to its resources that university members have access to.
If the search results are in several formats,
the electronic ones will usually appear first.
To access the eBooks,
you have to tap on "VER LIBRO ELECTRÓNICO".
This button leads you to different platforms
that offer access to e-books.
If the platform is a subscription one,
you will need to sign in to the catalogue.
