What is PublicaMadrid

Post Finder

Post search edited by the Community of Madrid

La Virtual Library of the Community of Madrid (BVCM) is a repository that allows the consult, read or download of the digital versions of the edited works, in any of the electronic file formats of the online publications: PDF, EPUB, ZIP, ISO, Mobile Application or WEB.

These works can be read or downloaded directly by clicking on See publication, both in the search results of PublicaMadrid as in the complete catalog file of the work.

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. As selected, filters are displayed (and removed) in the header. It also offers the word suggestion functionality, since the titles of the already indexed contents are offered

Every post counts in your catalog file with 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 See publication to the version of the Virtual Library, for consultation, reading or download. In your case, consult How to open and read a publication in ePub format.

A catalog with the available titles

The Catalog of Publications collects all the published editorial collection available, in original format or in digital version, edited by the Departments and Organizations of the Community of Madrid, as well as the works planned for the next appearance.

How to open and read a publication in ePub format

The ePub digital format is a standard for the edition of electronic publications, like the PDF, but unlike the latter, it allows the text to be resized and flowed, adapting to any screen and allowing for more comfortable reading. It is the most common format used by digital publishers and the best adapted to the mobile Reading, with smaller screens.

To read the ePub format, we must access the file through some reading device, which is what conditions the way of reading. In principle, all reader devices electronic ink (e-readers) ─except Kindles from the Amazon ecosystem─ are capable of reading the ePub format: simply copy the file to the device or, if there is a browser option, download it from the web.

If you want to read in a mobile or tablet with Android or iOS you have to download it or copy it first and open it later through a reading application installed from an official store, where there are both free and paid ones. For Android the free ones can be recommended FBReader (configuration in spanish), Google Play Books, Moon + Reader, Periodically o eBiblio. In Apple iOS the most widespread is iBooks, (now Books) although there is also a version of FBReader.

If the file has been downloaded to a desktop computer, can be opened and read in various ways. If the computer has MAX Madrid_Linux you can use the Book Viewer appearing in Office, which is nothing but a version of FBReader.

The program Caliber, once installed on any operating system, allows both reading ─using a viewer─ and editing ─using an editor─ as well as converting electronic books from one format to another and managing a personal digital library. Another possibility is the open program Thorion Reader (2021). You can also read ePub2 or ePub3 with your browser by installing the Chrome extension Readium or by EPUB Reader, which is also available for various browsers. In the Google ecosystem, ePubs can be uploaded and read through the Chrome browser, accessing the personal account, at Google Play Books.
