About us
Complutense University Library (BUC) is a support service for learning, teaching, research and other activities related to the institutional objectives of the University.
Library History
The Complutense University has been linked, since its birth in 1499 (the creation of the Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso by Cardinal Cisneros), to the history of the book and the library.
Structure
BUC has a decentralized structure coordinated by the Library Management and Central Services, which are responsible for the unification of criteria and standardization of processes and services of the faculty libraries.
Digital Collection
Biblioteca Complutense has created a valuable heritage collection throughout its history and, in the same way, has been a pioneer institution in the digitalization of its bibliographic documents.
