Alex
Catalog of Electronic Texts: Sponsored
by the Berkeley Digital Library SunSITE project, this collection features
American literature, English literature, and Western philosophy. This
makes for a deep-reaching tool that makes critical and comparative research
easier. The technology of this site is very sophisticated and innovative.
Alex deserves a look.
Bartleby.com:
Featuring a good selection of reference, verse, fiction and nonfiction,
Bartleby.com offers free access to titles as well as the option to buy the
books. — a business ploy that offers real value to its users.
Bibliomania:
Bibliomania is a bare-bones, full-text site. It offers basic texts via a
standard search engine. The strength of this database lies in its simplicity,
low visuals, fast loading, and simple searching.
The
Classics Archive: The Classics Archive
allows one to “Select from a list of 441 works of classical literature by
59 different authors, including user-driven commentary and ‘reader’s choice’
Web sites. Mainly Greco-Roman works (some Chinese and Persian), all in English
translation.” This is a useful and fun page. It has a solid search interface,
as well as challenging trivia questions. Links to Web sites, including bookstores,
make for a rich interface.
Electronic
Text Center:The University of Virginia
has been building the Electronic Text Center since 1992. The intended purpose
is to “build and maintain an Internet-accessible collection of SGML texts
and images” and “to build and maintain a user community adept at the creation
and use of these materials.” This page combines an archive of tens of thousands
of SGML- and XML-encoded electronic texts and images. What truly impresses
me is that the library service offers hardware and software suitable for
the creation and analysis of text. The Electronic Text Center trains scholars
to move text to electronic format, where it can then be indexed, collated,
turned into a concordance, word list, etc. Virginia is building the database
and has also established a model for training others to develop their own
databases. A true library paradigm.
EServer:
With 29,136 items available, the EServer at Carnegie Mellon has been a force
in full-text collections for 10 years. Beyond books, this site features
drama, audio and visuals, journals, and much more. If you want to find full
text and a community to support the subject via listservs, Web sites, and
contacts, this is an excellent starting place.
Humanities
Text Initiative: Where else could
I compare the Koran, the Book of Mormon, and various versions of the Bible?
The Humanities Text Initiative, a unit of the University of Michigan’s Digital
Library Production Service, developed this site in conjunction with the
Library of Congress, Sun Computers, and other institutions. The content
and the computer have combined to a greater good.
Internet
Medieval Sourcebook: Saints Lives’,
Medieval Legal History, and Early Church Documents are available along with
many other resources on this Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies
