University Library System

The University Library System (SBA) coordinates individual libraries with the related bibliographic and documentary services.

The SBA web portal gives users combined access to the information and documents stored by the University Library System, individual libraries and the University Documentary and Departmental Support (ASDD).

From the SBA web portal you may consult
