The Library is open daily for study activities from 8:30am to 9:00pm. Access is reserved for the Luiss Community, and reservations are required only for certain services.
The Library collections are searchable through the Luiss Discovery, including off-campus access. Once you have found the title, note its location and pick up the item from the shelves, or click on the resource to access the full text when available.
Most items are available for borrowing, except for Course Reserves, Reference Works, and Periodicals. Before asking a book, please use the online Discovery to check its availability, call number, and circulation policy. To locate the item, click on the map to see its position on the shelf.
