CHOOSING A SEAT

The first resources displayed by the APP when you access them are those free in the current time slot and, if you don't have any special needs, you can simply choose the first available seat.

If, on the other hand, you wish to choose a specific seat or a seat located in a specific area of the library, you can consult the map which shows you all the numbered places in the BEM.

Seats are distributed as follows:

  • seats from 1 to 33 and from 35 to 217 --> dedicated to Unito users and users of affiliated universities
  • seat 34 --> dedicated to the use of a table magnifier for easier reading of texts
  • places from EXT 1 to EXT 10 --> dedicated to external users
  • seats from WS 1 to WS 19 --> PC workstations (station 14 is not available)
  • WS DATASTREAM station --> PC station dedicated to consulting the EIKON / DATASTREAM database
  • WS LANGUAGE ENGLISH workstation --> PC workstation dedicated to consulting the bibliographic resources for the English language exam

The locations highlighted in GREEN on the map have electricity nearby. We recommend using these workstations if you need to connect devices to the mains so as not to create safety problems with any cables lying between the tables.
