KALDI (Canonistic Literature Documentation Innsbruck)
Together with the database for canon law DaKaR (University of Münster), KALDI is part of Index Canonicus, the comprehensive, international bibliography for canon law and church law. KALDI is operated in co-operation with the University library of the University of Tübingen (IxTheo).
Since 2015, the Leopold Franzens University Innsbruck (LFU) and the University Library Tübingen (UBT) have organised a permanent cooperation between the two specialist bibliographic databases Index Theologicus (IxTheo) of the UBT and the Theological Literature Documentation Innsbruck (THEOLDI) of the LFU, which consists of the databases BILDI, KALDI (Canonistic Literature Documentation Innsbruck) and MIMESIS. In 2019, the aforementioned databases were migrated to Index Theologicus. KALDI was able to contribute around 34,000 data records to the overall project, which have now grown to 51,500. They can be accessed both in Index Theologicus and in its subject-specific subsystem Index Canonicus.
The Index Canonicus offers users the opportunity to search for results from a specific canon. The Indices Canonicus and Theologicus offer a user-friendly, modern, facet-based bibliographic research and access tool to full texts. The Index Canonicus is compiled jointly by IxTheo, KALDI and DaKaR (Database Canon Law) of the Institute for Canon Law at the University of Münster.
KALDI was launched in 1996 by Konrad Breitsching using the STAR literature database and has since been accessible and usable via browser-based access on the Internet. The current KALDI staff (Konrad Breitsching, Sabine Konrad, Iris Robinigg, Klaus-Peter Stumpf) are responsible for the formal and content-related cataloguing of a total of 23 journals and book series.
