About the Journal

The Bulletin assumes itself as heir to the Archivo Bibliographico da Bibliotheca da Universidade de Coimbra that was first published in January 1901 and continued without interruption until May 1913. From January 1914 until the end of 1916 it came out with a slightly different name: Boletim Bibliográfico da Biblioteca da Universidade de Coimbra. Starting with vol. 4 (Jan./Jun. 1917) it was published with the title Boletim da Biblioteca da Universidade de Coimbra, and remained so until vol. 46/47 (2015/2016) when it assumed the current designation as  Boletim da Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra / Bulletin of the General Library of the University of Coimbra. The main scope of the Bulletin is the study and the dissemination of the documentary funds from the General Library and from all the libraries of the University of Coimbra. It is open to the Portuguese and foreign scientific communities for the publication of studies in the fields of Librarianship and Culture, giving preference to those whose object is the existing collections in the University or related to them. The Bulletin is published in digital format, with open access, being hosted on the Impactum Platform of the Coimbra University Press. It is also available in print.
