Notre Dame Rome Library FAQs
How do I find books, films etc?
Our catalogue is available online here. You can search by title, by author, etc. or by words in the subject headings. Click on the title to get to the full record for your item, where you will find the shelfmark and availability information. This tells you where to look on the library shelves to find your item.
When you are logged in, the full record will tell you if the item is checked out to someone else, and give you the opportunity to reserve the item if it is.
If you are having difficulties using the catalogue, please send an email to Costanza Montanari.
How do I check out books?
You can check books out using the self-check stations in the Notre Dame Rome Library. You will need your Notre Dame ID card to use the self-check. Just follow the instructions posted by the computers.
How do I check out DVD's and CD's?
You can check out DVDs and CDs using the same self-check system that is used to check out books. The only difference is that the Notre Dame Rome Library barcode will be found on the back of the box, instead of on the last page of a book.
How do I return library materials?
Leave them in the returns cart, on your right as you go into the Notre Dame Rome Library.
How do I find electronic resources for studying?
Students and faculty in Rome have access to almost all the electronic journals that they would have on campus via the Hesburgh Libraries. Be sure to start your searches from the main website (link: library.nd.edu) so that you are prompted for your Net ID and password to gain access.
If you need an article that is only available from a print journal held on campus, contact the ILL Department of the Hesburgh Libraries to provide electronic copies.
How do I request a book for purchase?
Faculty and fellows can send requests directly to Costanza Montanari.
