LINK TO DIGITAL COPIES

EDIT16 has begun a research of the digital collections relating to XVIth century editions and therefore is creating the links to the digital copies already existing in the WEB.

In the syntetic list of titles and in the full records, the icon Copia digitale: accesso da Localizzazioni. Il link segue la denominazione della Biblioteca proprietaria. indicates the presence of digitalized copies. In the Title search it is possible to search the editions with access to digitalized copies (this element can be used alone or arranged with the other elements). At the moment we have created some 350 links to digital copies.

FINGERPRINT

The use of Fingerprint is largely diffused all over Europe, particularly in Italy. Its use is of fundamental help in authomatized collective cataloguing. In EDIT16 it has a great important role for the identification of editions, issues and variants. Thus, in our site, we have created e particular section reserved to fingerprint.

It is possible to consult, in PDF format, the rules relating to fingerprint (Rules and Examples) and the issues of Nouvelles des Empreints and Notiziario dell'impronta. Moreover, it is possible to consult a bibliography relating to publications and papers about fingerprint.

 

BIBLIOGRAPHIC REWIEW/PUBLICATIONS

Available the new section Bibliographic Review which includes publications and papers relating to EDIT16 and offers a bibliographic view of the fundamental steps of the census of ancient library holdings in Italy. The section Publications includes the publications edited by EDIT16.
