What are the contents of a thematic guide?

Teaching staff, researchers and students can suggest the purchase of resources such as books, journals, databases and others through the Recommend a resource service.

Our team at the Library will evaluate the possibility of including the resource using the following criteria:

• The interest and relevance of the topic and the authors in relation to the university's fields of study, teaching and research
• The resource's availability in digital format (this will be prioritized)
• Budget availability and resources already present in the collection, to ensure thematic balance

The Library will inform you whether your request has been approved or declined.

The document delivery time depends on the title requested, its availability and the publishing group or distributor that supplies it. 

There is no comprehensive list of types. In other words, more types can be added based on the proposals received. The guides that have been produced so far can be classified into the following categories

• Biographical
• Instrumental / Tools
• Definition of a concept and minimum resources
• Institutional (honorary doctorates, chairs and inaugural lectures)
• Presentation/analysis of a topic (in-depth examination)
• Event
