Services
The SDEA offers the following free services:
-
We offer a reference and guidance service that consists of providing any information a user may need (teachers requesting materials and resources to carry out projects with their students, professionals who want to examine air quality and air pollution at their facilities, students who need specific data on mobility in the city, etc.)
The guidance we offer can be in-person, over the phone or via email. You can contact us by phone (932 564 416 and 932 562 592), through this contact form or in person.
-
All the resources that are part of the SDEA’s document collections can be borrowed, except for magazines and journals, which must be read on-site. Loans are made for 15 days at a time and are free of charge.
If you want to borrow any resources sign up using this form. After providing the information on the form, users can reserve, borrow and renew the loaned materials, and can also receive communications about this service.
To find out what documents are available at the SDEA, or reserve and renew loans, you can use the search tool BCNExplor@.
