Frequently Asked Questions

If the request is approved, the UOC Library will cover the cost of purchasing the contents.

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.

  • To donate documents to the UOC Library, send us a list of titles to the email address donatius@uoc.edu, and our team will consider adding them to our collection based on the University's areas of study and research.

    Please contact our team before bringing any books in person. Once the donation has been approved, a delivery date will be agreed.
