BIBLIOTECA DIGITALE
THE ITALIAN EBOOK PLATFORM FOR LIBRARIES
Libraries’ users ask for more and more accessible information
and for even more complete and updated catalogues. The Italian
language is spreading all over the world and expecially in the United
States where more and more students study Italian as a second language
and they require information for opening up new horizons to a
different culture.
Libuk, an Italian pioneer firm in the field of new publishing
technologies, gives an answer to these needs with Biblioteca Digitale.
Biblioteca Digitale is a web based service that provides access to
Italian full text ebooks organized in thematic collections. All these
books are written in Italian and they are published by distinguished
Italian firms.
Thank to the ebook technologies, it’s possible to keep all the
value of the traditional book and also to offer a better service in
term of a major quality and efficiency.
