BEC - Economics and Management Library

Accessing the library

Access to the library and book services is open to Ca' Foscari University of Venice members and external users (non-university members) with valid credentials.

You need to book via EasyPlanning or MyUniVE app and select:

• the library you want to go to as a service 
• the space you want to book as a location. 

Freshmen, new employees and those waiting for a badge can book a replacement badge by ticking the Richiedo badge sostitutivo (Request Replacement Badge) box in the “Informazioni aggiuntive” (“Additional Information”) section of the booking form.
No replacement badge is required for locations without entrance gates.

Non-university members

You can access the University libraries and the consultation and lending services if:

• you are of age
• you are already enrolled in Ca' Foscari University Library System (SBA) and have a valid card
• you have booked access via EasyPlanning with the credentials received after sending the registration form.

To apply for SBA membership or renew an expired membership card:

• fill in the form Registration form for the University Libraries" (annual card)
• send it to the e-mail address below enclosing a copy of an ID card.

Within two working days, you will receive a message (SMS or email) confirming the activation of the account and containing:

• the link to create the password
• the username (e.g. ucf.00000. Remember to enter the username including letters and periods and without spaces)
• the PIN to create your personal password.

After entering the PIN, you will be asked to activate a second level of security (OTP) as required by the new regulations for data security and protection. If you don't complete this step, you can't generate a password and therefore access the services.

The password will be active immediately and must be renewed every 6 months, while the registration is valid for one year.

When you book for the first time you can request the printing of your card or, if you are a IUAV member with a nominal card, the activation of your card for library services.

Please send the request only to one library: the SBA membership will automatically be valid for all the others.
