DIGITAL LIBRARIES

There are dozens of major digital information resources coming on-line, worldwide. The following is a small but important sample of these. Several of these centers open gateways to the new centers coming on-line.

The University Library resources in the first column have large Digital Libraries: archival matter available quickly in digital form. Each is a huge and growing resource.
The On-Line Publication Archives listed in the second column reflect our specific interest and delight in finding aerospace archival publications available in .pdf or .html form.
The 3rd column opens access to the massive public-service information resources of the United States Government,
The 4th column goes to government information resources abroad.

Are there better ways to organize these? Sure, there must be millions of possibilities, changing every day as these huge, live resources keep growing and evolving. Please let us know if you think of one which is lasting and general enough to implement: your ideas are welcome!

P.S. The space at the bottom is filled up with interesting libraries. Check these out: they were selected to cater to user tastes. You'll find the poems of Shakespeare, the Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the US, novels by Agatha Christie, paintings, and many, many other things. Make sure you are wearing a watch before you click on these.
