The [Universidad Complutense de Madrid] has made a durable commitment with the principles of the Open Access movement. The University signed the Berlin Declaration on 2006 with the CRUMA [Conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades de Madrid] universities. In this field the Complutense Library has developed some actions in two areas, the digitization of the library bibliographic heritage and the dissemination and diffusion of the UCM scientific outputs. With this aim the Complutense library has developped the institutional repository E-Prints Complutense. This paper collects information about the implementation of the repository.
