The Library collections are searchable through the Luiss Discovery also off-campus. Once you have found the title, make note of the location and pick up items from the shelves, or click on the resource to access to the full text when available. 

Visit the Journal Search for retrieving information about periodicals and journals. Check the location and the issues for picking up from the shelves or the online access information when available.

Most items are available for you to borrow, except for Course reserves, Reference works, and Periodicals. Before asking for a book, access the online Discovery to check the availability, the call number, and the circulation policy of the book. You can ask the librarian for assistance or pick up the book from the shelf and use the self-check stations. Books that have not been requested by other patrons can be renewed in person, by phone (06.8522.5600), via email (biblioteca@luiss.it) or through the My Account section of the Discovery tool.
