The ‘Solutions and Tools’ sector aims to provide students and the university community with everything is needed to study and facilitate activities related to university life; it is proposed in different ways in the different locations, interpreting students’ needs and requirements.

Among the active services, the traditional Book Sector includes Publishing, which enhances and facilitates the academic teaching activities with the production of courses materials, and the Distribution of Publications and Materials prepared by EDUCatt, alongside the Loan, the Deposit and Sale of used books.

These are flanked by other services such as the Digital HUB, the eSharing service and the more recent Duepunti Service on the Rome campus, which also offer innovative tools and opportunities designed to facilitate university studies.

1. Purchase of publications

Most of the publications prepared by EDUCatt have been available in digital format on the main distribution platforms (StreetLib, IBS, Bookrepublic) for some time now, but the number of titles has been further increased, including those from previous years.

Study materials

A platform has also been released for the internal distribution of study materials only, in addition to the other already existing possibilities: here too, to gain access, all you have to do is to register using your icatt email address and purchase the titles of interest, which you will then be able to download from the email of the completed order, or directly from your personal account created when registering on the site.

The entire digital offer is aimed at students on all Università Cattolica campuses.

For all necessary information or for direct contact, please write to librario.dsu@educatt.it or libri@educatt.org.
