What Kevra will tell you when you look up a book, depending on where you live
When you open a book's page, Kevra checks whether you can get it without buying it: whether it is in the public domain, whether there is digital lending and whether your public library has it. That last part depends on your Spanish region (comunidad autónoma), because each one has its own network and its own catalogue.
| Region | What you will see |
|---|---|
| Andalucía | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Aragón | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Asturias | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Canarias | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Cantabria | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Castilla-La Mancha | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Castilla y León | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Cataluña | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Ceuta | Not yet It has no regional network of its own; its libraries belong to the State. |
| Comunitat Valenciana | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Extremadura | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Galicia | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Illes Balears | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| La Rioja | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| Madrid | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Melilla | Not yet It has no regional network of its own; its libraries belong to the State. |
| Región de Murcia | Yes If it is on the shelf we say “Available now at…”, and if it is on loan, “They have it at…”. |
| Navarra | Not yet Its catalogue asks not to be queried automatically, so we do not. We want to ask them for permission. |
| País Vasco | Partly We tell you which libraries have it, but not whether it is on loan: their catalogue does not publish that. |
Every one has been tested, one by one. The missing ones are not missing because their
catalogue does not work: their robots.txt file explicitly asks not to be
queried automatically, and we do not ignore that. We want to ask each of them for
permission; as soon as one says yes, it shows up here.
Meanwhile, on the book's page you will always have a link to look it up in your network's catalogue and in bookshops.
