• • AlmaRE Risorse Alumni

  On the website of the University Library System, you can consult the bibliographic resources acquired by the Alma Mater for its research, study and teaching activities by logging in with your credentials.
  If you graduated with a previous degree programme system (prior to Italian Ministerial Decree 509/99) and do not have a Username and password, you can request a @studio.unibo.it account by sending an email to help.studentionline@unibo.it indicating your personal data and tax ID code.
  Once you have a Username and password, a few days after activation, you will be able to access the resources available to Alumni, which can be consulted via the link above.
  
  To access other resources, you need to physically go to one of the libraries that grants access to walk-in-users, enabling them to consult the resources directly in the library. Some specific resources are currently excluded from this kind of consultation since their licence explicitly states that access to walk-in users is not permitted.

• • AlmaDL
