Libraries of the Department of humanities
MAIN REFERENCES
The libraries of the six former Departments or Institutes that from 2012 became part of the Department of Humanities Studies are, like all other library structures of the University of Macerata, part of the University Library System (SBA), which was set up with the aim of providing academic users with a high level of integrated and homogeneous services.
The entire library heritage is catalogued and the bibliographical information is part of the local OPAC and the national SBN catalogue (National Library Service).
Within its new departmental set-up, although it does maintain its disciplinary peculiarity and managerial independence, the new libraries have been organised in two poles: Pole of Palazzo Ugolini/Via Illuminati and Pole of Via Garibaldi/Palazzo De Vico.

PRESENTATION
The initial nucleus of the library, which grew over the years on the basis of the scientific and didactic requirements of the Department, is the biggest one (GLOTT.) divided up into sections of the basis of various linguistic branches.
Those of particular interest include: Celtic languages, Indo-Aryan, Mycenaean languages, English of Ireland and other Caucasian languages containing volumes that are difficult to come by in other Italian libraries.
The Russian language and literature library was added to this initial nucleus later on (RUSSIAN), and it was dedicated to the poet Anna Achmatova in 1996. This sector has approximately 4500 volumes, the majority of which are in Russian; in 2012 4766 bibliographical texts were added to it thanks to the donation of the library that had belonged to Prof. Carlo Riccio, a professor of Russian language and literature at the University of Macerata.
The other sectors of the library are:
The Slavic philology sector (FIL.SL.), which increased significantly over the last two years thanks also to the donations of prof. Vittorio S. Tomelleri, Dr. Eva Krull, Prof. Helmut Keipert and Dr. Felix Keller (with a total of 2345 volumes and 15 years of magazines); Germanic philology (FIL.GERM.), a sector dedicated to Sergio Lupi; Italian philology (FIL.IT.) which includes a significant sector of publications relative to the dialect of the Marche, Rhetoric (RETOR.) which comprises a collection of volumes on rhetoric, topic and argument, philosophy of language and communications science and entertainment, (SPET.) which above all includes works of musicology and ethno-musicology.
In 2005, the library received a donation from Prof. Giovanni Sabbatucci of 265 Italian studies volumes that were owned by Prof. Nunzio Sabbatucci and that make up the fund of the same name.
In 2008 the library that belonged to Prof. Filippo Coccia, professor of the History of Contemporary China at “L’Orientale” of Naples was acquired. The book fund consists of 3,100 volumes and several collections of magazines (3,222 folders of periodicals) collected over a period of time between 1960 and 1990, the majority of which in Chinese and pertaining to literary, historical, economic, sociological subjects in general regarding the 1900’s in China.
In 2013 the heritage of the Library was added to with 2391 rare and extremely prestigious volumes from the point of view of their scientific value, this was a donation from the widow of Prof. Thordarson, an illustrious scholar of Caucasian and Iranian linguistics and a professor of classic philology at the University of Oslo, who passed away in 2005.
Currently, following the Rectoral Decree 444 dated 2 August 2012, the Library is part of the library complex of the Department of Humanities studies – languages, mediation, history, arts, philosophy.

PRESENTATION
The library was established after the merging of the respective libraries of the Institutes of ancient history and archaeology and currently, following Rectoral Decree 444 dated 2 August 2012, it is part of the library complex of the Department of Humanities Studies – languages, mediation, history, arts, philosophy; since 2001 the Northern Africa Centre has been part of it, the book heritage of which consists of approximately 1370 volumes and a significant archive of photos, letters and drawings that are currently being catalogued, concerning above all, the activity of the Italian mission in Libya.
All the library volumes are catalogued electronically, a reason for which the consultation of its contents – including periodicals – may come about either by connecting up to the OPAC, or consulting the catalogues on paper (by author and title and by subject) in the library.
As far as the ancient history section is concerned, the following disciplinary areas can be identified: Roman history, Greek history, history of ancient religions, Latin epigraphy; within it there is also a library fund dedicated to Prof. Marcello Zambelli, who donated it to the ancient history institute at the time. Within the framework of the archaeology section: archaeology and Greek and Roman art history, Christian archaeology, Etruscology and Italian antiquities, pre-historical archaeology, numismatics and topography; in common between the two sections there is the historical-archaeological sector of the Marche.
Furthermore, this patrimony of books constitutes an essential form of scientific support for specialised users given also the significant quantity of sector specific periodicals, which are often consulted and requested by other research centres given their peculiarity and consistency.
The library was recently refurbished with an open shelving access system. The years of the periodicals including those up to 2006 were transferred to Palazzo Menichelli.
