The coverage range with the most significant number of publications is 1995-2020. Since ProQuest is an aggregator, the most recent publications are not included. The collection includes approximately 900 texts in Italian and the number of users who can access the collection is unlimited. The collection can also be accessed through the Ebook Central - ProQuest and ProQuest One Academic platforms.
