New: Library guide for Italian Studies. “National identity”

Inclusive searches & sources @UvA Romance languages (20)

This blog series, as laid out a year ago when starting, aims among others at being «a collaborative effort to help broaden and diversify both the UvA Library collections and the way staff and students, assisted by Information specialists, search, find and evaluate (scholarly) information».

Thanks to the collaboration with Elio Baldi and Linda Pennings at the Department of Italian Studies, aimed both at broadening the UvA Library holdings (with acquisitions on topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion) and at increasing students’ access and use of the UvA Library (books) collections, I’ve designed a ‘Library guide’ consisting of some reading lists on a given curricular topic, the first one being national identity.

Each list is introduced by the UvA CataloguePlus search on which it is based. While all listed publications are (at least in part) relevant to the topic, the readings are not meant to be exhaustive, as they are inherently limited by their drawing only from UvA Library holdings. Additional search examples from other online resources are given at the end of each guide. You can browse the guide below, or otherwise feel welcome to ask me a PDF version.
