We offer you laptops to work during your stay in the library. Check the loan conditions and availability in each of the libraries: 
 

Some libraries offer the service of waiting list when all laptops are borrowed.

If you come with your laptop, you will find padlocks in all the libraries.

If you need a laptop to study or prepare classes from home, we leave one for you.

This service is exceptional and is aimed only at undergraduate and master’s degree students, doctoral students and associate professors of the UPC.

Check the terms of service. 

Loan of electronic book reader devices

We have some e-reader reader devices that you can book in advance and get out of loan. The characteristics of the equipment and its availability may vary depending on the library.

How to fit documents on the screen of e-readers

If the PDF does not fit correctly on the screen of the reader, you can use the tool Briss to trim the margins (you can obtain more information in Spanish at: Engadget).

This tool, cross-platform and compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac, provides a quick and easy PDF ready to be loaded to the reader. The procedure to obtain it is:

1. Import of the PDF
2. Viewing an image with all the pages in the document, to see what can be cut without a loss of information (margins, footer, etc.)
3. Selection of the areas that want to be maintained
4. Automatic trimming of pages (according to the selected selection)
5. Activation of the menu Action > Preview to view the final PDF
