We give you the possibility of choosing between a wide range of information resources, which are accessible from Eureka.
Eureka is a query tool to the Library/CRAI’s catalog which allows searching simultaneously in a wide range of resources in printed as well as in electronic form through a single search.
If you wish to know how to find some documents, you can consult the guide for locating documents and the map for locating them.
Once you have located the resource through Eureka or through the Biblioteca Digital website, when you try to access, the remote access system will ask you for your username and password, which will identify you as a member of university community.
Passwords of students, Erasmus grantees... are those which are used to access to Servicios Personalizados (for example, Blackboard). In the event that you DON’T have a password, you must talk to “Centro de Atención y Servicio al Alumno” (Center for Attention and Service to the Student).
- In order to make use of the loan service, users being registered will have to identify themselves by means of the UPO ID Card. Otherwise, they will be able to do it through any official identity document which includes data about user and his/her photograph (ID card, passport, residence permit, driver’s license...).
- In the event that the user could not go to Library in order to make loans, take out reserves or request for a renewal personally, he/she would have to authorize someone else through a signed document and a photocopy of his/her ID card.
- In the event of online Library services and self-machines, users will be able to identify themselves and/or show proof of their identity through their username and password of Servicios Personales.

IMPORTANT: all loans, with the exception of documents which have been reserved by another user, can be renewed at any time before the due date and for equal periods to original loan, counted from the renewal date. Documents can be renewed up to 12 times.
Your right to a loan is suspended until you return the documents, applicable from due date of the loan.
Your user record will be locked for making loans, reserves and renewals 2 days per each day of delay and per each document being returned past the deadline, applicable since the return date.
You can talk to Loans Desk or dial the following numbers: (+34)954 349 256 – (+34)954 349 255 – (+34)954 978 111, or even send an electronic mail to prestamo@bib.upo.es, which will attempt to demand the user who has the book on loan which you need.
In order to reserve a document, you have to be identified in Eureka. Therefore, click on the option “Solicitar” (Ask for) in the complete registration of the document. Before sending the request, you can include a date from which you would probably not need the book and any observation.
If the document has been returned by the previous user and the following one who has reserved it does not go there to pick it up in two days, the reserve will be cancelled automatically.
