The Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of Italian Libraries and Bibliographic Information (ICCU) manages the online catalogue of the Italian libraries and the interlibrary loan and document delivery National services; promotes and coordinates National Census of manuscripts, of 16th Century Italian editions and of the Italian libraries; develop standards and guidelines for the cataloguing and digitization.

The IRIS Consortium, founded in 1993, is an association of Florentine area art history and humanities libraries consisting today of six members.

The member institutes have joined together to create a union catalog (a shared bibliographic database) available in Internet to scholars all over the world. The IRIS catalog, by virtue of the highly specialized nature of these institute libraries, offers a resource unique in its richness, focussing on the Italian Renaissance, its art history (including material on the conservation and restoration of art objects), its history, literature, philosophy, political thought, science and music.

Founded in 2003, Words Without Borders promotes cultural understanding through the translation, publication, and promotion of the finest contemporary international literature.
