How to access library resources

The journals of the Library of the G.B. Bietti Foundation from which it is possible to obtain articles in full text are divided into 3 categories:

  • Online magazines available through the Bibliosan network
  • Online magazines to which the Foundation subscribes directly
  • Paper magazines present on site.

THE ACCESS METHODS TO THESE RESOURCES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

  • Online magazines available through the Bibliosan network: you can access the full texts of the magazines available in the A to Z list on the bibliosan.it website. Most of the resources are available in full while others have an embargo of a few months (i.e. the latest issues are not available in full text). To access the A to Z list it is necessary to connect to the Bibliosan site through the network of the Via Livenza headquarter.

  • Online magazines not available through the Bibliosan network to which the Foundation is subscribed directly: the full texts of the magazines that are not present in the Bibliosan list to which the Foundation is subscribed are accessible directly and exclusively from the headquarters of Via Livenza but not remotely. It is not necessary to enter any credentials as access is via recognition of the Foundation’s IP address.

  • Journals not available through the Bibliosan network to which the Foundation is not subscribed: the full text of the articles present in journals to which the Foundation is not subscribed and that are not present in the Bibliosan list can be requested directly to the Foundation’s Library by e-mail (mara.ventriglia@fondazionebietti.it)

  • Paper magazines present on site: the full text of the articles present in paper magazines owned by the Foundation’s Library can be requested directly to the Library by e-mail (mara.ventriglia@fondazionebietti.it)

In addition, thanks to the Bibliosan network, through the Class interface, after registration, it is possible to connect to all Bibliosan resources directly from home or from anywhere in the world. Through the Nilde (Network Internet-Library) system, the user can request items from the Document-Delivery service of the Library to which he/she is accredited and know at any time the status of his/her requests until receipt of the document.
