6 The aim of the course, which can be divided into two parts, is to learn about the historical-institutional framework of Italian libraries as it has been configured during the history and the concrete way of functioning of the library structure in relation to study and research needs. In particular, the library-part of the course will include the exposition of the history of the libraries and the treatment of the principles underlying the processes of communicative mediation that the library is called to implement.
