Digital Libraries

The following links are ones I use frequently, and ones I recommend. They are useful
links, and, by surfing from them, they can be fun, too. First on the
list...
 | Digital libraries. The Berkeley
sunSITE's R+D page is a great place to start exploring real digital
libraries. Here you'll find links to major digital libraries in a dozen countries. On the
Digital Libraries page I'll provide direct links to a
few of my favorites. One of them has the papers of a great woman. Which library has them?
Go to the Digital Libraries page, or click
on Emma: |
| The Internet Library for
Librarians is a one-stop directory for working librarians and students. Not
exhaustively complete in every category, but very useful in many, including their Internet Tools for Library Staff. |
| The Internet Public Library. Subject
directories to a wealth of internet sources. Easy to navigate. Produced by the
School of Information at the University of Michigan. Even a kids' section. And a fairly kewl one
for teens. |
| At the Library of Congress, you can
check out their Library Services page,
and the Library and
Information Science Resources Page While you're at the LOC, visit the digital
library project American Memory. |
| webCATS is a hypertext
directory to library catalogs around the world. What books on roses do they have in South
Africa? You can find out. |
| AcqWEB
at Vanderbilt University is
a large web resource for acquisitions and collection development issues, well organized
and updated. |
| Blackwell's, the British
commercial firm, maintains a U.S. site: Blackwell.com,
which offers information for librarians, but seems written more for retail and
academic bookstore buyers. Blackwell.co.uk
seems a bit more librarian-oriented. |
| WEBgator. If
you thought research was staid, check out this Marlowe-ish (or Hammettian) site for the
low-down on "investigative resources". |
| Info-Connect Directory.
Others swear by it. It's UK. |
| The Special Libraries Association. The
SLA's web pages provide interesting surfing, and good information and
resources. |
| Government
Documents directory. The Government Documents Librarian (Ms. Ginny Hopcraft)
at the Bowdoin College Library has
created an easy-to-use comprehensive site organizing federal, international (and Maine)
government internet resources. |
The Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe, in Cambridge MA.
| Two sources of information on recent electronic publications in library and information
science are Eric Lease Morgan's Index Morganagus,
a search engine to e-journal articles in the field, and Current Cites, maintained
by Teri Andrews Rinne at Berkeley.
Current Cites is
a monthly publication abstracting and providing cites to electronic publications in
library-information science. You can read and search Current Cites at its
home at the Berkeley sunSITE,
or you can get the current issue each month by e-mail. |
| Okay, now you've had enough of library hyperlinks. If you want relief, take a vacation. If you've just started to get excited,
click on my favorite digital libraries page. |
