AlmaRE origins dates back to the 1990s, when scientific documentation began to be converted from paper to digital.
Over the years, the AlmaRE staff has been coordinating the University of Bologna's Library System for the selection, acquisition, enhancement and provision of the University's digital collections to support education, research and, in recent years, the third mission of the University, which is the valorisation and sharing of knowledge with the socio-economic context at large.
AIMS AND PURPOSES
AlmaRE aims at rationalising the digital collections and making them available to the broadest possible public, while ensuring their conservation over time.
COLLECTIONS
In line with the multidisciplinary mission of the University of Bologna, AlmaRE counts on one of the largest collections in Italy, covering also niche disciplines.
TOOLS AND SERVICES
AlmaRE provides a variety of services to guarantee optimal use of the electronic resources and collections made available by the University of Bologna.
USERS
AlmaRE negotiates a wide range of licenses with publishers and providers in order to make the subscribed content available to all University institutional users and to other categories of non-institutional users that may be included in the clauses of the agreements.
