The Library System coordinates services and activities of the academic libraries, paying particular attention to digital and technological innovation. It acquires, provides and promotes access to bibliographic and documental resources. It also promotes knowledge sharing and dissemination of research results, supporting the principles of full and open access to scientific literature.
It is composed by:
- The University Library System Board: the organ is led by the Rector’s delegate to Library System, and it is composed of professors, representing the Departments, and librarians (Area and libraries or services managers). It sets the policy and the system’s targets, following programs and guidelines of the University central organs
- 6 Libraries grouped in 4 subject Areas (Economics/Social sciences, Humanities, Law, Sciences/Medicine)
COLLECTIONS (AND STAFF)
The Library System organizes and fosters access to a collection estimated at over 100,000 volumes, 780 subscriptions to printed periodicals, approximately 4,300 e-journals, 33 online databases overall.
All the collections and the digital resources held by the system's libraries are searchable online through the University OPAC as well as the SBN national OPAC.
All locations provide barrier-free access; most of them are equipped with facilities and workstations for people with special needs.

COOPERATION
The System actively cooperates with other local Libraries and, at a national and international level, with libraries of universities and of cultural/research institutions, in particular through document delivery and interlibrary loan services. In 2009 the University Library System, in cooperation with the Provincial Library “La Magna Capitana”, became part of the National Library System (SBN) by joining the SBN node of Foggia – now extended and renamed to Biblioteche di Puglia.
It adheres to and participates in the activities of CARE - CRUI consortium (Electronic contents negotiation, acquisition and management)
