Due to the difficulties in using the IBOS platform (http://www.icosbibliography.net), the
Bibliography Group, at the initiative of Lidia Becker, have turned to a more user-friendly
alternative, by creating an open bibliographical resource on Zotero
(https://www.zotero.org/groups/icos_bibliography_group_onomastics) for all who are
interested in the scientific study of names. The project is carried out under the responsibility
of ICOS.
