What will change in libraries from 1 May 2022?

In particular, these indications concern:

Respiratory protective devices

It is recommended that respiratory protection equipment be worn in all indoor areas of the university.

We remind you of the importance of using an FFP2 type respiratory protective device indoors at all times when there is not a sufficient distance from other people (approximately 1 metre), or there is not adequate ventilation. The protective device is effective if correctly used and replaced.

COVID-19 “green pass" certification

As of 1 May 2022, there is no longer a requirement to hold the COVID-19 “green pass” certification in order to enter university premises.

General rules of conduct

It is recommended that you maintain certain good habits such as:

· Washing your hands frequently

· Practising respiratory hygien

· Avoiding crowds

· Ventilating rooms frequently

All services are provided in accordance with current guidelines.

A number of services remain in place, including:

Affluences

Via the Affluences app or website, all users can check the occupancy rate of reading rooms, the opening hours and locations of libraries and study rooms, get information on distances and routes and follow routes on maps.

A simple and clear interface also provides up-to-date information on the facilities available in the library (e.g. lift, wifi, air conditioning, electrical sockets, etc.), opening hours, and the main communications for users.

Experimental "Ethical deliveries" service

The experimental "Consegne etiche" service allows books to be loaned, delivered and collected from the University libraries. The service is aimed at users of the University (students, teachers, administrative technicians), with mobility problems, even temporary, resident in the Municipality of Bologna.
