Rector “The University of Pisa has a large collection of bibliographic, book and documentary materials, which is essential for both research and teaching. Knowledge is transmitted through the use of historical books, but also, today, through the use of tablets, smartphones and new technologies. It is essential, however, that this knowledge is accessible to all.” In the libraries of the University of Pisa it is possible to: • consult books, magazines and multimedia material, mostly placed on open shelves; • borrow books; • photocopy and print documents; • consult online catalogues; • take advantage of training courses; • carry out internships and apprenticeships; • ask for help with your research from one of the 124 librarians on duty; • request books or articles not present in Pisa from other Italian or foreign libraries; We look forward to seeing you
