How do I download a newspaper or magazine in PressReader?
You can read the content online or download the entire issue and access it with the PressReader application (no internet connection needed).
Download the app
- Download the PressReader app, available for iOS or Android.
- Open it and tap Sign in (bottom of the home page).
- Select Libraries & Groups, and then Select Library or Group.
- Type UOC in the search window at the top of the list of libraries. Tap Library - Academic - Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).
- Then tap the Sign in button and enter your Virtual Campus username and password.
You will then be able to access all the content of PressReader through the app. A 30-day timer will appear. When it runs out, you will have to sign in again and search for the UOC Library in the list.
Download content
There are two options for downloading an issue:
- Using the web version of PressReader: From the UOC Library, enter the newspaper library, open a publication and click on Open this edition in the PressReader app. The platform will automatically detect the devices where you have the app installed. Just select one.
- From the app itself: Open any publication and tap the download arrow icon.
- In both cases, access downloaded issues with the app's My Library button (at the bottom of the home page).
- When you open a newspaper or magazine from the app, you will see the Follow option. It means that, as soon as a new issue is available in PressReader, you'll find it among your downloads in the My Library section
