Do you need a book to study, prepare your thesis or for reading pleasure?
Having it on loan from the University libraries is very simple!
Here's how it's done:
1) go directly to the library and ask the staff. To get a loan you must be registered in one of the libraries in Parma or the province. If you are not already registered you can request registration when you go to the library.
2) look for it in the online catalogue or with the BiblioParma app, note the location. go to the library and ask the staff
3) if you want to be sure to find it, book it from the online catalogue (by entering your personal space with your University credentials) or from the BiblioParma app and stop by the library to pick it up
Since August, users of the University of Parma (students, teachers and technical-administrative staff) have been able to access the reader's personal space in the Parma Libraries catalog with the University's email credentials. The "old" reader code is in fact no longer valid.
When you click on the "Login" button, the message has appeared for a few days: If you have an account provided by the University, click here to authenticate.
Are the libraries closed? Are you outside Parma? Do you have commitments? Jobs? Do you need to study or write your thesis? It's not a problem!
