The new online catalogue

We are pleased to announce that the Carmelite General Library has recently begun cataloguing its library collection, uploading the information to BeWeb, the national bibliographic portal for ecclesiastical cultural institutions, where the first catalogued volumes can already be found.

From the homepage, it is possible to perform specific searches by clicking on the “Library Assets” category and entering information in the designated fields, or by selecting the “Cultural Institutions” category using the name of the conserving body. On this new page, by clicking the icon for the General Carmelite Library, you directly access the internal catalogue, where the latest acquisitions are listed and from which you can narrow your search by author and title. [Photo 1]

The same procedure can be carried out starting from the National Library Service (SBN) catalogue, by clicking on “Libraries”, at the top right of the homepage. [photo 2]

Indeed, joining the Ecclesiastical Libraries Pole (PBE) has also allowed the Carmelite General Library to incorporate its collections into SBN, through the sharing of bibliographic records and a single research access point.
