This involves transitioning to DSpace 7 software, improving interoperability with platforms such as the European Commission's ORE, and supporting researchers in open access requirements. The project also includes the integration of various APIs, improving author identification and compliance with international standards.


The aid will finance 85% of the total cost of the project, which will be led by a multidisciplinary team from the Library and IT area, focused on technical support, collection management and communication.

Madrid Campus Library

Women and literature

At the Madrid Campus Library we celebrate Women's Day with a point of interest Women and literature where we show a selection of recent works written by women, some new and others already established. Our leisure collection has grown this last year and many of the new acquisitions are written by women. Some books are very well known, but we also give space to other works that are less chosen from the catalogs of prestigious publishers such as Salamandra, Errata Naturae, Impedimenta, Nórdica, Libros del Asteroide or Cabaret Voltaire, undoubtedly of great literary quality. Among the established authors we have highlighted the French writer Annie Ernaux, awarded the Nobel Prize in 2022 not only for her literary merit, which is indisputable, but because each of her works contains a certain autobiographical character and focuses on and shows the role of women. in society and the roles with which she has had to survive and that the author herself defines as a mixture of literature, sociology and history and we find them especially appropriate readings to celebrate this March 8, International Women's Day.
