In those libraries that use the QR4services application, reserving reading seats through the app is optional

Most of the documentary collection of UPV/EHU can be freely consulted in our 13 libraries, which collectively have 4,105 reading seats and 553 computers. Additionally, for the use of materials excluded from loan (such as journals), the reading rooms are equipped with photocopiers and scanners that can be used in compliance with legal limits.

What Can I Consult in the Libraries?

• Printed Materials: Mostly located on open shelves in the various university libraries. For materials located in closed stacks, you must contact the staff of the respective library. Some documents, such as printed theses, have restricted access. Use our catalogue to locate the materials you are interested in consulting.
• Audiovisual Documents: VHS or DVD (available only in the Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia campus libraries).
• Documents on CD-ROM and Microforms.
