EIUC LIBRARY
The Monastery of San Nicolò houses a specialised multi-disciplinary library on human rights and democratisation issues.
|
The on-line catalogue enables researchers to look through all the documents and materials housed in the library (books, international scientific reviews, DVDs).
The most consulted materials are the E.MA theses. An excel file (E.MA_theses_1997-2011), saved on the desktop of the computers in the reading room, present all E.MA theses catalogued by years.
E.MA theses for the academic years from 1997/1998 until 2003/2004 are available for consultation in the EIUC Library. From academic year 2004/2005, each E.MA student has been allowed to decide the modalities of use and consultation of her/his own thesis.
