programs. It is one of the few universities in Italy which admits students on the basis of a selective entry test.
Founded in 1992, Roma Tre University has gained a significant reputation in the academic world thanks to its high quality teaching and research programmes. The university has gradually but constantly brought into focus its particular profile; that of a dynamic, efficient and highly selective seat of learning that, step by step, has become an acknowledged point of reference both in the european and the international university system.
It currently enrolls more than 40,000 students which are the fruit of a winning strategy founded on offering a wide-range of innovative courses focused on the quality of the teaching and the introduction of the young into the working world.
One of the milestones for Roma Tre, since it's foundation, as well as a guideline for its development, was its incorporation in the surrounding area, characterised by the reclamation of old buildings and school premises, transformed into modern facilities for study and research.
The System is organised in seven libraries managing the library holdings in various academic fields of study consisting of over 500.000 paper and electronic documents. Beyond this heritage, the Library System also handles the Library of the Italian-French Studies Centre.
Every library is composed of various sections located in the different facilities of the university.

It is in charge of the monitoring and updating of the University's bibliographic catalogue as well as the Library System's web page, of the purchasing, management and utilisation of the University's electronic resources.
