The course introduces the general principles of Bibliography and Library Science, analyzes the origins, functions and organization of the contemporary library and deepens the theoretical, methodological, technological, technical-application aspects related to programming, management and use of libraries, with particular regard to digital information and documentation as a didactic and pedagogical resource.
The student will have acquired, in terms of knowledge and understanding, the main elements of the discipline of bibliography and librarianship in the scientific and professional field and, in terms of application, the main techniques of production of tools for bibliographic research, both analogical and digital, as well as the techniques of description and retrieval of documentary information and the procedures for measuring and evaluating the operation of cataloging services, bibliographic information and bibliographic databases.
In terms of autonomy of judgement, the student will have the ability to collect and manage the bibliographic tools in relation to the activities of analysis and interpretation of documents and organization of bibliographic sources.
In terms of communication and learning skills, the student will have obtained the skills and competences necessary to orient himself with confidence in the articulation of library economics, in the models and procedures of library services and to transmit the knowledge acquired both through traditional tools, such as inventories and catalogues drawn up in paper form, and through the dynamics related to new information technologies.

Attending is non mandatory but highly suggested to overcome the examType of evaluation
The exam consists of a remote written test (open and closed questions) covering the topics in the textbook and the book of your choice. In addition, for the bibliography section, there will be a practical exercise to be submitted on the platform (in the manner communicated through the Moodle channel) by the day of the chosen exam session. There is also an optional exemption, consisting of a group project to be presented during the lessons (in the manner communicated by the teacher via the Moodle channel), which exempts students from the book of their choice.
