Journals and articles

The Library holds journals in print and electronic format, current or discontinued, covering the different subject areas of Ancient History, Archaeology, Arts, Byzantine and Modern Greek, Greek, Latin, and Music.

 

Journals in the library

The journals are stored on floor -1 and are identified by RIV in the shelf location.

Journals are not lendable: they can be consulted in the library or photocopied within the limit of 15% of the publication, in compliance with the Copyright Law.

The latest issues can be found on the library's display stand on floor 0.

 
Journals in storage

Some journals are kept in the Nuovo Archivio di Legnaro (NAL) or the storages of Palazzo Liviano and must be requested in advance through GalileoDiscovery.

 
Electronic journals

Through GalileoDiscovery you can access a wide selection of journals in electronic format, both paid and free or open access.

Electronic journals can be accessed from all workstations of the University network or off-campus via the Auth-proxy service or in some cases with Single Sign-On (SSO). No formalities are required for consulting free and Open Access resources.

 
How to search for journals

To search for a journal, physical or electronic, you can use GalileoDiscovery in these two ways:

  • simple search, Library Catalogue profile (default choice): type the title in the search box and filter results by ‘Resource type’: Journals
  • Search Journals function in the top bar: allows you to search for a journal by title or scroll through the list of available journals for a specific subject area (e.g. History and Archaeology > General History)

If the journal is available in paper format, check GalileoDiscovery for location and availability in the library.

For both print and electronic journals always check the library holdings of the print journal or the availability of issues for electronic journals.

Search databases

Databases are online archives that may contain articles from scientific journals, books, and bibliographical references. They can be multidisciplinary or specific to a subject area.

You can find all the databases made available by the University Library System in GalileoDiscovery in the Search database section. You can search by title if you already know the resource you want to query or browse by subject using the Categories in the left-hand column (e.g. Music).
