Books
The rich library collection is updated and increased every year. The main subject areas are economics, law, social sciences (political science, international relations, sociology), languages and literature, linguistics and socio-linguistics, aerospace and mechanical engineering, medicine and surgery.
The main collection
It includes textbooks, handbooks, essays, literary works, critical studies, encyclopaedias, atlases and dictionaries; these documents may be searched in the Library Catalogue.
Most of these volumes are on open shelves, ordered according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The shelf mark is made of a number describing the subject of the book, followed by some letters.
Textbooks
Every year the Library purchases several copies of the books on the reading lists of Forlì Campus courses.
The first copy is for use in the Library only; its shelf mark is LT and it must be asked and registered at the Loan Desk.
The other copies are available for a 30-day loan and have shelf mark LTPRE.
Course packs are to be asked at the Loan Desk and may be read and photocopied in the Library.
One copy of engineering textbooks is available at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Degree Teaching Office.
Books in the warehouse
Documents that have not been loaned out in the latest five years, outdated editions, and double copies are moved to the Library warehouse, located in another building.
To read or borrow volumes with MAGAZZINO shelfmark, you must make a loan request in the Library Catalogue; books will be available from the following day at the Loan Desk.
Books in Braille
In the Library some textbooks in Braille are available to be borrowed; apply to the Loan Desk.
To view the list, enter "braille materiale documentario" in the search field of the Library Catalogue.
