E-resources

The Blu-ray Disc -official abbreviation BD- is the optical medium created by Sony at the beginning of 2002 as an evolution of the DVD for high-definition television. It permits a huge storage of data, almost 40 times more than a single-layer DVD-Single Side. Because it's bigger than a USBkey, it's not so easy to lose this kind of E-resource, but careful because the BluRay discs are flimsy ;)

It permits a huge storage of data: I would say: it permits (allows) to store a huge amount of data

single-layer DVD-Single Side: The object is "Side" or "DVD" here?

it's: remember: in formal English writing do not use contraction (but this is not so formal, so it's fine :))

A bibliographic database is an organized collection of bibliographic records or better an organized digital collection of references to journals and newspaper articles, books, conference poroceedings, etc.

They covers only bibliographical information and possibly abstracts.

They generally contain rich subject descriptions such as keywords or subject classification terms

A bibliographic database may be general in scope or cover a specific academic discipline. 

Most of bibliographic databases are proprietary, available by licensing agreement from vendors.

Logical operators (AND - OR - NOT ) that make electronic bibliographic reasearch different from the traditional one set based on a print index. These prepositions operators permit to combine different concepts within the same research, in contrast to the traditional research that allows access to contents using only one word at a time. Every preposition has a specific function and leads to a specific result.  IN - NEAR - WITH can be also be used as boolean operators.

prepositions : AND, OR are conjunctions, NOT an adverb. This in syntax, but here they are "operators", a collective noun including them all.

research: wgìhat about "search string"?

In general: use "allow" rather than "permit".

Another general remark: the operators were NOT born to serve bibliographic research, so maybe you should explain their history (and also something about how they work)

A Web browser, in information technology, is a program that allows you to use the services of Internet connectivity, i.e. a computer network, and to browse the World Wide Web. The most famous are Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Also Chrome is very good.

A citation software is a software which helps people organize bibliographies.

Bibliographic citations can be distributed in folders created by users.

This kind of sw often can work with an Internet browser and capture citations and documents from bibliographic databases.

Groups of users can be created inside the citation sw, so that users can share news, texts, discussions in the group.

Finally, if we are writing a book or an article, the citation software can do the footnotes and the bibliography at the end of the text.

Citation sw are: Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, etc.

Acronym of Digital Object Identifier. It consits of a character string with a defined syntax, that provides a persitent and unique identification of an electronic document. It thus makes the document accessible and linkable independently from its url or metadata, that may change.

The document can be found in the Internet using the DOI resolver at www.doi.org or simply writing the string http://doi.org before the DOI itself.

The governance of the system is a non-profit organization, the International DOI Foundation, working with many different registration agencies.

Short form for electronic journal.

A journal published and distributed in electronic form, mostly online on the Internet.

E-journals are both online-only or electronic versions of printed journals.

Most scholarly and academic journals are at present produced and made available as e-journals, because of the relevant advantages in terms of diffusion, accessibility, impact.

Costs are largely influenced by publishers' policies; the open access movement has an important and increasing role in the e-journals market.

* if you mean just ONE publisher you should say "the publisher's policies". But I think you probably mean publishers here, so you should say "publishers' policies" (or "the publishers' policies" both correct but with a slightly different angle)

Device used to read digital resources such as e-books and e-journals. It is a portable device that permits to store a great quantity of digital documents; it allowsalso direct e-books' download trough wifi systems. E-reader screens are designed to allow the users a comfortable reading.

software : it is not a software, as far as I know, but a device which obviously requires some software in order to work.

resoruces: resources (just a mistype, obviously :))

storaging: I found some cases on the web, but the main language dictionaries do not have this entry. I would say "permits to store",  "allows to store" or "permits the storage of".

permits: Note that permit strongly stresses the "give permission to" while "allow" also means "make it possible to..."

from: I suggest "through wi-fi networks", "from" a publisher's website

confortable: comfortable

Digital version of a printed (or not printed) book. It can be read on a ebook reader, on a pc or on a tablet.

A factual database is an electronic archive containing factual data (for example chemical formulas, statistic or demographic data, graphics, numeric or alphanumeric information, law and so on).

Google is the most used search engine in the world (about 90% in Italy). Nowadays it is probably the most powerful, fast and rich of documents search engine (and it's free too), but Google is constantly argued because of its many unsolved problems (e.g. criteria of the algorithm PageRank, privacy, filter bubble).

Google is also a very big corporation that offers a lot of services like Google Maps, Gmail, Google+ (a social network), etc. Google Scholar and Google Books are two tools that can be very useful for an academic research.

A computer network based on the Internet Protocol technology within an organization.

It is of strategic importance because it affects almost all aspects of the organization itself, such as comunication, collaboration,productivity, cost-effectiveness, costs.

It is a word or a phrase used to search certain topics or themes within the web. Keywords can be insert inserted into a search engine or a database. Using a very specific keyword should lead to a narrow number of results, that shoud be answering to the aim of the search.

shoud be answering to the aim of the search: should answer according to the search aim

What about talking about HOW the keywords are inserted in the database, and WHO could do it (authors, librarians...)?

Link resolver it's a paying service (e.g. Linksolver offered by Ebsco) and it appears like a simple 'button' to click.

When you find a record in a bibliographic database, the link resolver searches in the e-resources (full text databases, aggregators, e-journals, etc.) of your institution for the full text (usually PDF). If there is no full text avaible, then it will link you to the opac or the document delivery service.

It's a broader concept then printed or written music. It's used not to exclude computer notated music.

It's a computer program - normally rather short and with the possibility to interact with it - giving you information about some specific subject or topic.

Short form for online public acces catalogue, it is an online database of  bibliographic materials held by a library.

It is used to locate books and other material available at that library.

used for digital resources available without fee in Internet or in an institutional repository.

in: "on the Internet" - consider it idiomatic.

The term "open access" was first used in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the open access movement was established, and then it was officialized through 3 worldwide initiatives: the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002), the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2003), and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003).
The open-access movement strive to provide free online access to scientific literature, primarily intended for scholarly journal articles, but also for thesis and ebooks.
The publishers generally own the rights to the articles in their journals. Anyone who wants to read the articles must pay to access them. Anyone who wants to use the articles in any way must obtain permission from the publisher and is often required to pay an additional fee.
Although many researchers can access the journals they need via their institution and they may think that the access is free, but in reality it is not so. The institution has often been involved in lengthy negotiations around the price of their license.
Authors can provide open access in two ways: by self-archiving their journal articles in an open access repository, or by publishing in an open access journal.

Used for Referred to academic publications evaluated by a scientific commission composed by experts with a common competence in the same area of research. It's It is a guarantee of quality standard.

A Search builder is a feature (or an interface?)  which can be used to do an advanced search in a bibliographic database.

A free text search can be done; but a search builder includes the possibility to search by individual fields of the record (keyword, subject, title, source title, author, etc.)

You can choose the field in a drop-down menu or you can use the field codes typing them before the words and according to the particular language of the database.

Boolean operators and truncation characters can be used.

Other search options can be offered by a search builder, such as expanders and limiters. Examples of expanders are applying related words, searching in the full text of articles, and so on. Examples of limiters: by date or period, geographic regions, full text available, subjects, languages, and so on.

an advanced: if you agree, we can add this word - OK, G

either: are: apply related words, search in the full text

or: are applying related words, searching in the full text - OK, G

In this moment, it's the only thing that I am able to think to, the other useful -items-  have been already used by some collegues (darn ;).

Oh well, definition: the USB key is very useful to storage store files, because it is small, absolutely light and the newest models are able to receive very "heavy" documents. The only problem is the following, because it is a very small thing it follows that it's very easy to lose a whatever USB key.

Synonym:USB stick, USB flash drive

: Careful! "Storage" is a noun, and "to store" is the verb. You could also say: "it is very useful for file storage"

it follows that: this is Italian :). Funny, but useless in English!

whatever: what do you mean here?

It's a preliminary scientific paper, frequently considered as grey literature. Working papers are often the first step for related works: academic authors recently set their digital working papers in an internal repository before to publish to offer a free access for colleagues.
