Admission

  • If you are not an SNS user, you can submit a request for admission, renewal or temporary admission using the appropriate form (in Italian) duly completed. You can find help on the page Guides and tutorials.
  • If specified in the Guidelines, the lecturer of reference will need to send a guarantee to ammissionibiblioteca@sns.it from his or her own institutional e-mail address.
  • For SNS users, admission to the Library is automatic.
  • Ensure that the e-mail address that you provide is correct: the absence of a valid e-mail address will lead to exclusion from the services of the Library.
  • Any changes to the data provided on request for admission to the Library must be communicated immediately to the address ammissionibiblioteca@sns.it.
