Many traditional libraries have web sites that allow users to access their holdings.
These sites make it easy for users to search the library's catalog remotely, however, in many cases, a personal visit to the library is required to access the actual books, journals, videotapes, audio CDs, etc. Some of these resources are available to UH students over the web, while other resources are only available to patrons who are on campus. Hosted by the School of Information at the University of Michigan, this resource has as its mission, to find, evaluate, organize, and bring together quality information resources on the web. Here you will also find links to reference materials such as almanacs, biographies, census data, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. The WWW Virtual Library is the oldest catalog of the web, started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and the web itself.
