Journals and articles

The Library owns journals in both printed and electronic format, current or discontinued, covering the various subject areas: medieval, modern and contemporary history, Venetian history, history of Christianity and early Christian literature, palaeography, archiving and librarianship.

 

Journals in the library

The current number of journals is located on the open shelf in alphabetical order in Sala Lanaro on the second floor.
Previous years are stored at ground-floor storerooms in rooms C and D in alphanumeric order (e.g. RIV.A.1, RIV.A.2,... or RIV.GR.FORM.1, RIV.GR.FORM.2,... for large-format journals).

 

Journals in storage

Some journals, with a closed subscription, are stored at the New Archive in Legnaro (NAL).

 

Electronic Journals

Through GalileoDiscovery it is possible to access a wide selection of journals in electronic format, both fee-based 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 mask, 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 in GalileoDiscovery for location and availability in the library.

For both print and electronic journals always check the consistency, i.e. the library's holdings of the print journal, or the availability of issues for electronic journal.

 
How to search for articles

Search GalileoDiscovery

To find scientific articles on a given topic or by a given author, or a specific article, set up your search in GalileoDiscovery using the simple search mask and selecting the Search Everything profile from the drop-down menu; refine, if necessary, the results obtained using the filters and facets in the right-hand column.

Search History 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.  
Find all the databases made available to you by the University Library System in GalileoDiscovery by using the Database Search function.

You can search by title if you already know the resource you want to consult or browse by subject using the Categories in the left-hand column (e.g. History).
