Libraries have closed the physical building where we serve the university community, but our services do not stop.

The digital library, which for a few years has gained prominence in supporting research and learning at our university, has now become an essential resource for continuing to carry out the usual activity at the UAB.

The evidence is the increase in downloading electronic information during the month of March, and specifically we have focused on some platforms with textbooks, such as Ingebook, which has had an 82% of increase or Digitalia, focused on the social sciences and humanities, which has increased by 61%.

Since confinement, we continue to work to cover the information needs of our patrons, and you could find all the tools at https://www.uab.cat/web/que-oferim/biblioteques-des-de-casa-1345810495230.html.
