A lot of journals, as well as being available in print, are available online and can be searched via SOLO or eJournals A-Z. Below are a few of the top journals for Italian literature and language below.
The following bibliographical databases are particular useful in searching for literature searches. They can be used to locate journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and more. More e-resources are listed and described in the e-Resources section of this guide.

The Taylor Institution Library blog is curated by the staff of the Taylor Institution Library.
The aim of the blog is to highlight items of interest in the library collections and to contribute to bibliographical scholarship in modern languages. Articles will focus on important new acquisitions, Taylorian Special Collections, less well-known materials, unusual or alternative formats, and projects and research using Taylorian collections. From time to time we hope to include relevant pieces by guest writers.
