Public access to libraries

Università IULM provides public access to its libraries, including books and publications. The IULM Library, located in the IULM 1 building, offers several facilities across different floors. These include 350 seats in reading rooms, a consultation room for non-loanable materials, and 50 multimedia stations for accessing digital resources.

The library’s home loan service is available to IULM students, staff, and external users. Borrowing requests can be made through the Digger catalog, with flexible lending periods depending on the material type. Interlibrary loans, reservation systems, and extensions are also available.

Additionally, Apeiron, IULM's institutional repository, provides free access to research works conducted at the university since 2000. These materials can be consulted online by entering search parameters like author or title.

To demonstrate the real-world impact of these resources, in 2023, the IULM Library recorded 6,252 loans/consultations, and 156 external users accessed the library. This data highlights significant public engagement and the practical reach of IULM’s educational resources.
