This guide will help you to getting started with discovering reference and other resources in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Use it to find out about printed and online titles, including ebooks, ejournals, databases, and special collections.
Before starting, enter your Luiss credential in My OpenAthens.
In this section you will find help on how to search for and access print and eBooks, with some tips about classification.
Most books held by Luiss, in both physical and electronic formats, can be searched via Luiss Library Discovery. For eBooks you can browse and search also across several collections directly on the provider's website and reach other titles of interest.
If you are in the Library and looking for physical materials, remember to check the related sections in the Monographs Room and in Economics Room. Books are on open shelves and located by topic according with the Dewey Decimal Classification. Below the main classes for reaching physical and electronic titles on STEM.

Citation databases are a useful tool for finding scholarly literature in your subject area. This includes journal articles, conference proceedings and books. They are very easy to use and helpful to build a list of references with integrated citation tools.
Use bibliographic fields and/or browse by subject to set your query.
The main sources also accessible off-campus through proxy configuration are:
