Drexel University to Improve Internet Public Library
Aug 31st, 2007
The Wired Campus reports that Drexel University has big plans for the Internet Public Library. Drexel says it will make the popular site a "a virtual teaching and learning laboratory for digital reference." That's good news for online learners who don't always have the same access to college-level libraries as traditional students.
Here's how Wired Campus explains the planned Internet Public Library additions:
"Since its inception, the project has run a question-and-answer service for researchers and has provided access through its Web site to a wide range of digital library collections and exhibits. Now Drexel, armed with a $600,000 grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, plans to build an online learning community and to determine whether it can create a "technological training center" for digital librarians."
I applaud the news – please, keep the quality online educational resources coming!
