Monthly, we are looking for a historical and curious story related to the Library or the Faculty and we publish it in the news bulletin, on the web, at Canalbib and on social networks.

The topics published so far are:

• The library as a consultation room (documents by J. Pérez del Río): 3 documents that refer to the conditions of access and use of the library over the years 1948, 1950 i 1951. Some rules have not changed much. Already at 1950 he was asking not to keep the books consulted on the shelves again, although they should now be left in the hall trolley and then they had to return "to Miss Librarian".

• The seals of the library throughout history: collection of different ones stamps that have been used in the library and that can be found in our books. Some show their long relationship with the library, because they have been adding stamps during the different stages of history, for example this one astronomy book of 1771.

• The catalog of the library: the adaptation to the new times: the shift from paper to automation led to many changes, even furniture. The consultation of the catalog we use today with computers was done manually. The librarians made tablets with all the information of the books and deposited them in a hand or on a machine drawers where they were sorted alphabetically by author, title and subject. The faculty still retains this beautiful piece of furniture that looks at the new "Space Vela" where it has been given another utility.

• The headphones of the English class: in the library some of them are still preserved earphones which for years were used in the English class. With this curiosity you can see how the class was and what type of audio tapes were used.

• We already have a librarian !: in the student magazine "Albatros"(No. 6-7, from 1945) mentions that a person will be assigned to be in the library. The new is signed by Professor Pérez del Río.

• Voices of the sea with Rosario Piera: La Charo has been working in the library since the 18 years and has just retired. If you want to hear from your voice the interesting experiences you had in school for so many years you can do it with the interview that the Maritime Museum made the 2013. Available at the video library UPC.

• Tables of Calvet and Bonet:

In the old archive of the library we have them Logarithmic tables of hyperbolic natural numbers and those of the trigonometric line ... ausiliares for the uses of navigation (1851) used at the time as a student's textbook. The work was written by the professors Calvet and Bonet, who were also directors of the Nautical School.

• The "Top 10":

In the bulletin of the students of the "La Marina Menguante" School of the month of March of 1997 the list of "top ten most consulted in the library since January"The magazine costs 50 pesetas plus a donation. Some of these books are still a reference for more than twenty years later!
