This Columbia University site seeks to be the public library of the Internet. It reproduces classic literature and reference works in hypertext and maintains a strong emphasis on the quality and integrity of the text. The works of more than 50 fiction writers and dozens of poets and non-fiction writers are archived and available here without charge. The site's diverse content has something for everyone, including an online version of the King James Bible , Gray's Anatomy , Strunk and White's Elements of Style , The Fanny Farmer Cookbook and Emily Post's Etiquette . The site is elegantly designed, with portraits of the artists accompanying brief biographies.
Text is displayed attractively and readably.
In making the texts available to the lowest common technological denominator, Project Gutenberg attempts to reach the most people and thus have the greatest impact. The primary criteria for inclusion in the PG library are that the work be of great and general interest and be in the public domain. Volunteers choose the selections, which include Edgar Allen Poe and Dante as well as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Lewis Carroll. This science archive from Stanford University libraries offers links to more than 16 journals and other research content providers. The site currently links to more than 180,000 articles, and visitors can search by author, subject, or discipline.
