The catalogues - books and periodicals
THE POLO BOLOGNESE SBN CATALOGUE (National Library Service)
http://sol.unibo.it/SebinaOpac/Opac
It contains all books that have been acquired or catalogued since 1961.
The old books and many periodicals that entered the library before 1961 have been only partially recovered in the Polo Bolognese SBN Catalogue: consult therefore also the "Frati - Sorbelli" historical catalogue or contact the librarians.
The search for periodicals must be carried out exclusively in the OPAC catalogue.
THE "FRATI - SORBELLI" HISTORICAL CATALOGUE
http://badigit.comune.bologna.it/fratisorbelli
It contains the description of printed heritage (including periodicals) acquired or catalogued by 1960.
NB: many antique books (if acquired since 1961) are described in the most recent catalogues of the library.
The paper file is placed in the hall adjacent to the Reading Room and it was set up during Luigi Frati's running (1858-1902) and continuing during the years when Albano Sorbelli (1904-1943) was the director.
The online version was created in 2001.
