Digital Resources

This page is dedicated to the 10 resources I am collecting for my Digital Collections class.  My specialty of choice is the Digital Library.

Resources

1. Denver Public Library – collection of story time podcasts

2. The Internet Classics Archive – library of ancient Greek and Roman texts in English translation

3. Women Writers of India

4. Digital Library of India

5. The Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library

6. North American Slave Narratives – books and articles documenting African Americans’ struggle for freedom and human rights in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries

7. Europeana – will launch in November 2008, providing digitized books, films, paintings, newspapers, sounds and archives from Europe’s greatest collections

8. “Change the Metaphor: The Archive as an Ecosystem,” by Julia Martin and David Coleman, Journal of Electronic Publishing, April 2002.

9. “Out of the Mouths of Middle School Children: Developing User-Defined Controlled Vocabularies for Subject Access in a Digital Library,” by June Abbas. JASIST, 2005.

10. Internet Archive Children’s Library

 11. Arizona Archives Online – an online index to descriptions of archival materials.  (not in my specialty area, I know, but interesting nonetheless)

…and just for the hell of it:

DagonBytes – Goth radio, Library of classic horror, Gallery of Graveyards, and other fun, creepy stuff.  Actually, this collection is not very professional, not so well done, but I find it kind of amusing.
