The E-Resources Access Service (SIRE) provides access to electronic information resources contracted by CRAI, from a computer/client/device inside or outside the University of Barcelona network. It is based on OCLC's EZproxy solution.
SIRE is aimed at University teaching and research staff (PDI), administrative and service staff (PAS), and students.
