BIBIANA Revue Archive - the revue is a specialized periodical, unique in Slovakia, with focus on literature and art for children and youth. It offers evaluations, studies, essays, reviews and interviews with authors and is intended primarily for students, teachers and librarians and also for all who work with children readers. It has been published quarterly since 1993 as a continuation of the Czechoslovak Zlatý máj journal (except for 1998).
Archive of BIB Symposia Miscellanies – the miscellanies include papers presented at the international symposia organized under the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava (since 1967 to the present, except for 1993). Each issue of the symposium is focused on a specific topic in the area of theory and history of art and illustration of literature for children and youth. The miscellanies are published in a biennial interval by the organizer of the symposium (The Slovak National Gallery in 1967-1987 and by BIBIANA since 1989). The papers are available in both Slovak and English versions.
