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!
