During the closure period, collections normally housed in the Sottocrociera reading room will be available as follows:

- Books: partially available for loan by request through the Minerva catalogue; remaining items can be consulted using the same procedure as for journals.
Please note: journals with titles ranging alphabetically from BUL (including Bullettino dell’Istituto Storico Italiano from 1974 onwards) to PEN (including Il Pensiero) are not available. Should you need to consult articles from these unavailable journals, please request document delivery through the Interlibrary Services Office of the Biblioteca di Studi Giuridici e Umanistici (mail to dd-ill.bsgu@unimi.it).
