The Carmelite General Library (BiGOC), located at the International Center of St. Albert (CISA), was born from the merger of the General Library and the Carmelite Library. It is governed by one librarian, Mario Alfarano, and practically started its activities last fall. In November 2022, BiGOC was enrolled in the Registry of Cultural Assets and is present on the BeWeb portal of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI). This enrollment made it possible to join the CEI's projects, particularly the computerized cataloging system, which will replace the two previous catalogs that have not been functioning for several years.

Since February, the librarian has been joined by an assistant, Sara Bischetti. The two are offering new services to BiGOC users: a) the updated Regulations ad experimentum on access and consultation; b) the BiGOC website: www.bibliotecaocarm.com; c) the mailing list to inform about the latest acquisitions (books and journals) and BiGOC activities. 

Those who would like to be added to the mailing list can write to the BiGOC email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
