Libraries of the Complutense University

Every faculty of the Complutense University has a library and study room with specific books from its own major, but also can hold general issues. The rich bibliography that each faculty accounts added together had placed Complutense University Library as one of the best and more complete libraries in Spain.

Look in the online catalog for any bibliographic resource that you need. 

Students of this university have free access to all bibliographic resources belonging to Complutense University Library. To consult books or periodic publications placed in shells students do not need identification. In case students from California want to borrow from the library to take it home it is necessary to be registered in your regular courses and be included in the database. This will not be until mid November. Once you are registered in the database, you can pick up in our office your Complutense Student Card that will allow you to use all services of the university, including the library service. 

You can take home until 8 bibliographic resources for a 15 days period. A later return will be penalized with a period in which you could not borrow anything. 

In the Political Sciences and Sociology faculty there are two libraries with its own study rooms: Social Work and Political Science and Sociology. At the beginning of the academic year you will not have any student card, so the library of Political Science and Sociology will have a list with your names to allow you use the library service. Always carry a fotocopy of your passport.

The library of Political Science and Sociology is located in the ground floor, in the same corridor than the Students Cafeteria, in the opposite side of our office in the building. Opens Monday to Friday from 9 to 21 hours. 

The library of Social Work is located in the first floor, also in the opposite side of our office in the building and up to the Political Science and Sociology library. Opens Monday to Friday from 9 to 21 hours.

There is a one hour guided tour in the library of Political Science and Sociology that will show you all library services and help you to use them. This is helpful because all libraries from Complutense University work in the same way. The staff of our office will let you know when this accelerated course takes place.


EAP library
