LIBRARIES

The central library of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, established in 1936, is among the largest specialized institutions in the geophysical field internationally. Its documentary collections address the Institute's research themes: seismology, volcanology, upper atmosphere and interior Earth physics, geochemistry, and seismic and volcanic risk.
The library is open to the public and offers bibliographic research to those who request it through the "Ask the Librarian" form. Services provided include: on-site photocopies in compliance with current copyright regulations, consultation of books and journals in electronic and paper formats, document delivery through NILDE and ACNP channels, and interlibrary loan.

Its historical nucleus is in the collection of Teodoro Monticelli (perpetual secretary of the Academy of Sciences of Naples), purchased, in the second half of the 10th century, by the director of the Luigi Palmieri Observatory; this nucleus, made up, among other things, of 64 sixteenth-century and 900 seventeenth-century works by Italian authors such as: della Torre, Braccini, Giuliani, Breislak, Monticelli, as well as those by Hamilton, Schmidt, Roth, Fuchs, Phillips, up to arrive at the works of Johnston-Lavis and Frank A. Perret, dated to the early 328s. The modern section includes volumes on volcanology, geochemistry, physics of volcanism, seismology, geophysics, as well as scientific journals pertaining to the research fields developed by the institution. The Historical Section and the Modern Section are located in the scientific-administrative headquarters in Via Diocleziano 8, Naples. The Periodicals Section, the largest (several hundreds of journal titles), is located partly in the premises of the historic headquarters, in Herculaneum, on the slopes of Vesuvius, partly in those of the scientific-administrative headquarters (in the latter the last ten years of current magazines).
