Search in the Virtual Library
Of special interest is the consultation of works from the Virtual Library of the Community of Madrid (BVCM), which are those that have a digital version in PDF, ZIP, ISO or EPUB electronic file formats. These works can be read or downloaded directly from their catalog file by clicking on Digital or, where appropriate, ePub. They are located by activating the box Transformation when performing the search.
PublicaMadrid contains a semantic search engine, in which it is not necessary to indicate the exact term searched for, since it allows the results to be classified by significant categories (subjects, labels, digital, availability, supports, collections, authors, organizations, type of fund, year of publication... ), and refine the search. It also offers word suggestion functionality.
Each publication has in its catalog file a series of descriptive fields that facilitate searches and that in some cases are also hyperlinks: reference, title, Author, promoter/co-editor, collection, support, format, year of publication, ISBN, ISSN, legal deposit, pages, type of fund, distribution, extract, origin promoter, metadata, in addition to the image of the cover or cover and, usually, the link Transformation to the version in the Virtual Library.
