Collections - Donations - New acquisitions
Collections
The Library collection originated in the smaller collections of former departmental libraries of the School of Philosophy, that were unified and moved to a new building in 2019. The collections cover a wide range of humanities disciplines and the arts, in many languages and many formats. Greek language, literature, philosophy,history and art are the main foundation of the collection. Latin literature, european languages and literatures (english, french, german, italian, spanish, russian), pedagogy and psychology, music and theater studies make up a large collection of nearly 500.000 volumes.
Amongst them there are old and rare editions (nearly 20.000 volumes), some of them from 16th century, and manuscripts, printed books, printed journals (4.038 titles), a big collection of audiovisual material (musical, in the most part), the fast growing institutional repository «Pergamos» with grey literature, digitised collections, and other research output of the university. Library material comes from acuisitions, donations and exchange with cooperating institutions from Greece and abroad, aiming at supporting and reinforcing research and education activities in the School of Philosophy.
Donations
Η Βιβλιοθήκη της Φιλοσοφικής Σχολής (ΒΦΣ) ενθαρρύνει τη δωρεά προς αυτή κάθε είδους υλικού για τον εμπλουτισμό της συλλογής της καθώς επίσης εξοπλισμού και επίπλων. Η αποδοχή των δωρεών γίνεται συνολικά ή εν μέρει, μετά από αξιολόγηση από τη Βιβλιοθήκη και σύμφωνα με την τυπική διαδικασία του ιδρύματος. Οι ενδιαφερόμενοι συμπληρώνουν το Έντυπο δωρεάς, προκειμένου να παραχωρήσουν το δωρηθέν υλικό σύμφωνα με τους όρους της Βιβλιοθήκης.
Λόγω της αυξημένης ροής δωρεών και της μείωσης του διαθέσιμου χώρου στα υπάρχοντα ράφια της Βιβλιοθήκης της Φιλοσοφικής Σχολής, το επόμενο χρονικό διάστημα, με απόφαση του Εφορευτικού Συμβουλίου της Βιβλιοθήκης από 1/6/2023 οι δωρεές που απευθύνονται προς τη Βιβλιοθήκη δεν μπορεί να υπερβαίνουν τα 50 τεκμήρια κατά περίπτωση. Ευελπιστούμε στην κατανόηση του κοινού.
The Library of the School of Philosophy encourages the donation of any kind of material to enrich its collection, as well as equipment and furniture. Donations are accepted in whole or in part, after evaluation by the Library and according to the standard procedure of the Institution. Those who are interested, have to complete the Donation Form, in order to grant the donated material in accordance with the Library's terms.
Due to the increased flow of donations and the carrying out of technical works in the Library, during the next period of time, by decision of the Library's Board, from 1/6/23 the donations addressed to the Library cannot exceed 50 items per case. We hope for your understanding.
