Library in Salviati
The helpdesk on the ground floor of the Manica building in Salviati (SAMN 281) takes place every Wednesday in Salviati to answer queries about bibliographies, qualitative data management, citation management, publishing, etc. Next slots: tomorrow 18 January 9.30-12.30 - 24 January 9.30-12.30.
I am happy to arrange meetings also at the Library (Badia Fiesolana) during the rest of the week. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any question: [email protected]
Books from 910 to 930
Following some pressing space issues at the Library, the books with a shelfmark ranging from 910 to 930 (Geography and Biography) will be removed from the shelves for a couple of weeks, but they will be still available inside the Library. Please let any member of the library staff know if you need any of these volumes and we’ll be able to locate them for you. Alternatively, place a hold and this will be done automatically.
Collective catalogues to find books in Italy
The collective OPAC catalogue MAI (Metaopac Azalai Italiano) active from 1997 and run by the Italian Association of Libraries was officially closed last Friday. Even though no other OPAC can quite replace it, here's a short list of useful collective catalogues if you’re looking for books in Italy: - SBN - Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog (it includes the Max Planck libraries in Italy and many catalogues of digital editions) - WorldCat (to be used with care, as private book sellers are now included too)
