Library Services
Presentation
Since its creation in 1994, the EUSS Library has supported students in their academic work by helping them find and access relevant information in their fields of study. It also provides a quiet space for individual study and a place where members of the university community can search for and work with information resources.
The library offers bibliographic guidance and information search support to all members of the university community. It also provides training sessions for new users, giving them the tools they need to carry out research tasks such as creating bibliographic citations and using academic resources effectively.
Over the years, the library has evolved and now offers a range of online services that allow users to manage many tasks remotely, such as reserving documents or renewing loans.
Today, in line with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the library continues to provide these services while also promoting learning, research, and the development of new information resources that strengthen students’ information literacy. By providing access to databases and helping users evaluate and select appropriate information sources, the library aims to be a strategic resource supporting learning, teaching, and research.
Purpose and Functions of the Library Service
The Library of the Salesian University School of Sarrià provides bibliographic and documentary support for teaching and research by making its collections and resources available to the university community.
The main functions of the Library are:
a) To preserve and manage its collections.
b) To process, organize, and disseminate bibliographic and documentary resources in order to meet users’ information needs.
c) To support students in their academic development by providing access to information resources, helping them develop transversal competencies required in engineering education, and fostering the information literacy skills necessary for study, teaching, and research.
d) To promote the library’s services through training sessions, library guides, newsletters on new acquisitions, and other communication initiatives.
e) To facilitate access to resources from other institutions when the requested information is not available in the Library.
f) To provide users with an appropriate space for individual study.
The Library is organized into the following services:
a) Administrative Services, which include internal library activities such as acquisitions, cataloguing, classification and indexing of materials, development of new services, and the preparation of reports and statistics.
b) Public Services, which include all activities related to assisting and supporting users.
c) Archive Services, responsible for preserving all materials published by the School or related to it. This service also includes the School’s photographic collections, as well as study guides from other institutions, programmes, reports, scholarships, postgraduate courses, and other documentation.
