You can request physical documents, articles or chapters that are not available in the libraries of the UPC or the PUC.
Before applying, please consult the DiscoveryUPC to see if you can get the document.
If you still can't find what you were looking for (whether it's the entire document, chapter or article), request it by Interlibrary Loan by filling out the form or clicking the PI Form option from the full registration screen (may incur a cost):
The cost depends on the type of document requested and the place where it is requested.
It is a service subject to rates, although most reproductions of journal articles or book chapters are achieved within some free article exchange agreement between libraries (only for PDI, PTGAS and students of the UPC).
The amount of the petition must be paid in cash at the moment the document is delivered.
If you are PDI or PTGAS from the UPC, you can pay in charge of a structural unit.
The waiting time depends on the type of document and the supply library.
Upon receiving your request, the library will inform you of the cost and approximate deadline.
If you are an institution outside the UPC send requests by email to sod.biblioteques
upc.edu.
You can also fill in the form to register your center.
