Like other libraries, the Library of the Complutense University of Madrid has had to redefine its strategy for disseminating knowledge and research.

Firstly, in order to serve the our academic community, but also the global academic community and the general public, we were aware that the only viable way to make this work was through collaboration with public and private institutions.

- Thus, our historic collections have been digitized through collaboration with public institutions and agencies: Spanish Government, Federal Government of Madrid, Madrid Academic libraries consortium, Europeana, Hathi Trust, Internet Text Archive, but also with private institutions: Google, Santander Universities, Health Sciences Foundation, and Editorial Extramuros

- And our scientific output has been digitized with the collaboration with Banco de Santander and distributed through alliance with publishers and distributors: Springer, Thomson Reuters, Proquest, E-Libro
