Digital articles

Do you need an article, book chapter or conference proceedings but can't find it in the Library search engine? Request it, and we will try to find it in other centres and send it to you in digital format.

Due to a technical problem, the service form is currently down. We are working to sort this out as quickly as possible. You can make your requests from this page. We apologize for any inconvenience.  

Make your request

Sign in to make your request.

If you have a query but are not a member of the UOC Community, please contact with the Help service.

We try to find those documents that are not available at the UOC.

The documents received may only be used for private purposes, for teaching or for research.

How it works?

  1. Search

    First check whether the required content can be found in the Library by entering the title in the search engine. This can be, for example, an article, a book chapter or conference proceedings.

    Choose the Catalan University Union Catalogue option in the search engine's drop-down menu.

  2. Make a request

    If you can't find it or you can only view the summary rather than the full text, fill in the service form. If you're using the service for the first time, you need to sign up in the system and wait until you've received the confirmation of signing up: activation is not automatic.           

  3. Receive the item

    Once we have received your request, we will look for the document in another centre and, if we can find it, we will send it to you in digital format at your UOC email address.
