Project Gutenburg - 1 views

  •  
    Beginning in 1971, Project Gutenberg is the first online catalog of electronic books. Claiming to be the largest collection online, Project Gutenberg aims to digitize all books and allow them to be organized and searched through their site. The website can be viewed in multiple languages and allows people to volunteer and donate for the continuation of this project. The site only uses books whose copyright has expired, which makes them free in the United States, and they are allowed to be downloaded and redistributed.

Literature is not Data: Against Digital Humanities - 0 views

  •  
    Beginning with the explanation of how algorithms have changed technology in many different aspects, this article discusses how Digital Humanities came to be. Also, the "resistance" of literature to data can affect the use of algorithims and why it is seemingly not always accurate. The article also talks about the start of turning literature into data and why the digitization of books is going to be important. The idea of having a completely accessable, professionally reviewed, open access library is any scholars dream. The unlimited access to any written work would change the way people research. Although there are still some changes that need to be done with the algorithims, digital humanities is a huge developmental project.

    WILEY Open Access is an online database used to archive journals. This open access library offers peer reviewed journals that easy to use for researchers. Authors are allowed to published these journals to this site and reviewed by an editorial board that determines if the work will be an asset to this open access library. There are journals on various topics but after searching the site, I have noticed that the most popular journals are the ones that concern science and medicine.

More about Google Books | SULAIR - 2 views

  •  
    Google Books is a service that allows searches of full-texts of books and magazines that have been scanned by Google. These texts are stored into a digital database and with the use of "character recognition", a user can locate any textual material. This website discusses the legal aspect to Universities access and use of Google Books. With a proposed agreement between AAP and Google Book Search, the proposal was unfortunately rejected.

Renaissance Body Project - 2 views

  •  
    Like the archive websites that we viewed in class, this website is designed to archive material from the Renaissance. There are course related material, such as blogs and lesson plans, there are databases with texts and images from this early time period, and there is a "studio" designed to help writers in their research. There are also external links for any other sites that are wished to view. An archive website is useful for research and Stanford University designed this one for research purposes and informational value.
