AIDA online: articoli italiani di periodici accademici
The Bibliography "Articoli italiani di periodici accademici (AIDA)" contains 345,500 articles in the humanities from 1,400 Italian periodicals. Publications from the entire spectrum of the humanities, including peripheral disciplines, are covered. The collaboration of Italian librarians ensures that the journals evaluated provide a representative selection of the current literature in the humanities and all related fields. AIDA is not simply an extract from the IBZ. The titles of articles are sorted and compiled by an Italian-speaking editor. AIDA is therefore an ideal supplement to the IBZ.
