The library manages the bibliographic heritage of the area of chemical sciences and related disciplines and offers support to the research and teaching activities carried out by the Department of Chemical Sciences.
Chemical Sciences
The 'Cesare Pecile' Chemistry Library is located in the Department of Chemical Sciences, Via Marzolo 1, Padua.
It can be reached either from the city centre or from the station in 10 minutes on foot; alternatively, it is connected by bus lines 5, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, 24.
You can reach the library by going up the first flight of stairs on the left of the main entrance and following the signs for the library along the corridor to the second floor.
ABC of Bibliographic Research is an information literacy course on the resources and tools the Library provides to its users, structured in three levels from first-year students to PhD students.
