BESS is more (than a library)
BESS stands for the Piedmont Electronic Library of Social and Economic Sciences (an acronym that may be missing the final ‘E’ and a ‘P’, but is nonetheless very effective).
It currently comprises fifteen libraries and documentation centres.
As of today, it also features a new website and a genuine ‘Made in Balzac’ brand.
Let’s start with the latter: the spine of an imaginary book, the cover bearing the author’s name in large letters, depicted in a single colour at the very moment they are taken from the (physical) shelf of a bookshop.
All the resources at the tip of the mouse (and of the fingers)
A simple, minimalist, functional and, of course, responsive website, designed to direct visitors’ attention to the appropriate channel. The site is also ideal for exploring the online world of resources made available by the libraries and documentation centres that are members of BESS: journals, databases and archives, as well as the EBSCO database, which can be searched directly from the site. All the illustrations were produced by the agency specifically for this project.
