Mediatheque

The upper floor of the Centro San Carlo houses a mediatheque whose use is reserved exclusively for the students and teaching staff of the Conservatorio. Students and teaching staff of the CSI and SMUS teaching staff are free to work at the computers, accessing the network by keying in a password. Anyone interested in using this service should contact Salvatore Abate in the CSI secretarial office during the office opening hours.
