Biblos was founded in 1989 out of the attempt by certain students to combine a commitment to study with the need to support themselves financially during their university years. So the opportunity arose to start services directly managed by students who, besides engaging enthusiastically in them, had and still have a chance to work directly in the university environment, thus being involved with organisational, managerial and technical aspects that very often are a real opportunity for personal and human achievement. Over time new services have been added, most of which arose from the intuition of the operators of the service and were accepted by the university authorities because they were seen as suitable and innovative.
