Italian E-Resources
Editoria Italiana: For Italian scholarly journals, ebooks, and conference proceedings, see Editoria Italiana Online (EIO) for a growing selection from important Italian academic presses. Full text searching and display make it easy to find materials for your research.
AIDA: AIDA is an online citation database for Italian journal articles. Once you've found your articles, then go to the library stacks for the journals that you need. AIDA indexes more journals than EIO, so use them both for greater comprehensiveness.
