UPCommons

The main goal of UPCommons is to organize and preserve the intellectual heritage of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. UPCommons facilitates a unique access point to all different open access repositories (theses, e-prints, journals and conferences published/organized by UPC, course materials, academic works and videos). Till now, it is not mandatory for authors to archive their works. However, UPCommons is integrated with other UPC information systems or services (like the Virtual campus, the information system for the research output, academical managing tools, electronic ID systems, etc.). This fact makes UPC repositories very useful and is encouraging the university community (teachers, researchers, students) to archive their works. By now, there are about 9.800 documents in the repositories hosted in UPCommons. Besides, UPC Libraries provide two services which are giving support to the Institutional Repository: the Intellectual Property Service and the "Factories", where professors are helped to improve their course materials and to convert them into digital formats.
