Iter is pleased to present an online bibliography of more than 600,000 records for articles, essays, books and reviews. Updated daily and with thousands of new records added annually, this powerful research tool will be of great use to scholars interested in the Middle Ages and / or Renaissance (400-1700). The bibliography is available at http://www.itergateway.org.
The bibliography is designed with the professional scholar in mind, but its user-friendly format makes it attractive for both graduate and undergraduate students, as well as the general public. The search interface offers searching by keyword, title, author and, for selected records, by Library of Congress subject headings and Dewey Decimal Classification. The interface supports Boolean and positional operators, and allows limiting by language, publication type and publication year. Results lists can be sorted by author, subject, title, relevance or publication year. Records can be marked and conveniently e-mailed or downloaded.
Iter, in partnership with the Renaissance Society of America, is pleased to offer online access to the full-text of Renaissance Quarterly from volume 53, number 1 (2000). A subscription to Iter's online edition of RQ also permits access to preprints of RQ book reviews: full-text reviews available before they are published in RQ. Access to the full texts of Early Theatre, Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Reforme and Romance Philology is planned for 2004.
In cooperation with Brill Academic Publishers, access to an online edition of Iter Italicum is available at a low cost to subscribers. Iter Italicum is Paul Oskar Kristeller's listing of uncatalogued, or incompletely catalogued, humanistic manuscripts of the Renaissance, in Italian and other libraries around the world. In addition, access to Iter's International Directory of Scholars is available to all Iter subscribers. Individual subscribers, including members of the Renaissance Society of America and the Sixteenth Century Soceity and Conference, are also able to edit their own IDS records.
An online, searchable database of the International Directory of Renaissance and Reformation Associations and Institutes is available at no additional charge to subscribers. The database is comprised of all entries in the final print edition (2nd, updated ed., 1993), many of which were updated for the online edition, in 2001. Access to the final print edition of Scholars of Early Modern Studies (volume 34, summer 2000) is also available at no additional charge to subscribers.
Iter's future plans include providing access to dissertations, online resources, and works of art and music. John Shawcross's extensive Milton bibliography, published in cooperation with Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies will be available in 2004. Access to Baptisteria Sacra: An Iconographic Index of Baptismal Fonts, offering detailed descriptions of fonts from the early Christian period to the 17th century, is planned for 2005, and will be available only through a subscription to Iter's service.
