Remote Services. Making a reservation

Do you want to take a look at this tutorial?(Spanish)

We can make a reservation when

all the copies of a document are

already borrowed: this is as easy as

putting yourself down in a list so

that we let you know when it is

available.

This option will be possible only

when viewing the complete record

of a document in the catalog, so do

not forget to click on the icon

19

Remote Services. Important advices about the

holds in order to improve how they work

If there are several editions, but they are alike, make several reservations

If you notice there are few copies of a document, please ask us to purchase

additional ones

If you want to know your position in the queue and the estimated waiting

time, check your user status. If you are not interested in the reservation any

more, please cancel it

Inform us immediately if you are told you have a reserved document

available and this does not concern you any more

Be careful whith the additional materials: place the hold only on the item you

are interested in (i.e. DVD with 2 discs: one with the film and another with the

extras; documents in several volumes,…)

If we do not contact you in a reasonable time, contact us: perhaps the delay

is due to a return delay, to a very long queue or because you have made a

reservation on special project or annual loan items.

Services


20

Remote Services. Renewals

You can renew all the documents you

borrow except some few items and

materials (laptops, basic texts)

This is possible only if anybody has

already placed a hold on the item you

are interested in. In this case the

system will warn you.

Renew always before the due date

(remember the due date expires before

21 h) If you have been fined you will not

be allowed to.

Search tools – The catalogue


31

Catalogue Search

There are two options for

accessing the catalogue:

• Basic search at the

top

• From the menu,

access the advanced

search at the catalog.



32

Basic search

It is faster and easier, and you can limit the search to

any field, author, title, subject or periodical time.



33

Advanced Search

This search allows you to search

simultaneously in different fields

of each document record and it

also lets you refine the search

by selecting the library, language,

format, type of loan, location,

publication year and media (CD-

ROM, DVD, Final Year Projects,

etc…)



34

Advanced Search

If your teacher recommends that

you consult some documents, you

will be given their basic data:

author, title…

We type them on the appropriate

field.

If you have any doubt, use the

words or phrase option



35

Advanced Search. Refining the search.

Searching other materials

Besides books, searching the

catalogue you can also find:

Music (CD-A)

Videos (DVD)

Maps

And more…

Refining the search at the bottom

of the catalogue will be of great

help for you…



36

Advanced Search. An example

Type in the Title field the

name of a document,

“statgraphics” for

example.

Select CD-ROM in the

Item category1 drop-

down menu



37

Additional tools Some options make it easier for you to find certain collections

Engineering

Special collections: languages,

audiovisual materials, literature, e-

38

Here you have some

search results. They

produce an abbreviated

information, so it is

convenient for you to

click on the button

Details for further

information.



39

Viewing the records

Information about the

copies available at the

different University libraries

This book has 2 vols.

Call numbers in Leganés:

L/D = 2nd floor

L/S = 1st floor

If all the

copies were

borrowed you

would be able

to make a

reservation



40

Viewing the records The records contain different information

They inform about the document basic data: author, title, year of publication,

publisher, subject…

In addition some records offer more information such as the cover, table of

contents, or summary



41

Linking an electronic resource In the catalogue, you can find some documents with the full text available in

electronic version.

You can access them if you are logged in Campus Global.

Even though our e-book collection is constantly increasing, most of the books

in the library are printed.



42

Other options. Exporting records

Both in the abbreviated view and in the detailed view of the

records, you can KEEP (“GUARDAR”) those interesting for you

(or delete them if your change your mind).

When you finish your selection you have to click on the option

KEPT (“GUARDADOS”) and then you will view a screen in

which you will be able to sort the records, select the library and

choose the format. You can also print or e-mail the records.

Please note this is NOT a reservation on the book, just keeps

the record.



43

Browsing the shelves Once you have found an interesting document in the catalogue, how

can you find it on the shelves?

Search tools – Browsing the shelves


44

Browsing the shelves Most of the bibliographic collection is ordered by a subject

classification: the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC).

Each subject has a number, so that documents on the same academic

field are gathered together. This number is used to form the CALL

NUMBER, located on the spine of the book.

S

519.2

PEÑ

In order to find

a book in the

shelves

you need to know

the call number

Initial letter of the room where the document is located.

Those documents located in the Humanities, Leganés,

Colmenarejo and Puerta de Toledo libraries include the

initials H/, L/, C/ and PT/ before the initial of the room.

UDC number

The three first letters of the author surname. They are

used to order alphabetically those documents on the

same subject and with the same UDC number



45

Browsing the shelves

Find the UDC number in the

signs hanging from the book

shelves sides (each sign

indicates the two extreme

numbers)

The labels on the shelves

and the signs on the

bookshelves sides can help

you.



46

Browsing the shelves- Tracking a document Furthermore you will access directly to the books without searching the

catalogue… this is why the books are ordered by subjects.

However note that you will not find:

Books already borrowed or used by any user and which you could place a

hold on

Books on related subjects which can be interesting for you and which are

located elsewhere.

Other documents: Final Year Projects (PFCs), articles, special collections,

etc. located elsewhere

Books located in other libraries of the University



47

The searcher

This tool allows you to search simultaneously in:

The Library Catalogue

E-Resources Collection: e-books, e-journals, databases

e-Archivo : our open acces archive of academic documents

Search tools – The searcher


48
