Help your 2 cents!

[Ezteq]

yep thats it i want you to stick your oar in (steady) and gimme some suggestions about a digital collection!

I have an assignment that I am quite excited about and I have to write a review about a digital information collection it can be:
an ebook collection
scholarly ejournals
institutional repository of ethesis/eprints
heritage materials
a digital archive
a website

what it is for those who are a bit unsure is like an online library or museum here are a few examples for you (btw the ARKive one is great!) but I was hoping you guys could help me because I know you all have some wierd and wonderful sites on your faves lists, there was something about a space radio tracking signal ages ago that might be quite good. Anyway obviously it has to be suitable for a formal assignment (so no pron or like watch me rot or anything)

here are the examples:
D-Lib Featured Collection July/August 2007: The Encyclopedia of Earth

D-Lib Featured Collection October 2005: ARKive

D-Lib Featured Collection January/February 2007: Lincoln/Net

anyway if you have a website or a source for e-resources you especially like please post a link, don't go hunting on google specifically for this I was just after anything you may have hanging about to give me ideas or possibly to do the review on.

Many thanks

While I can't give you any specifics, I'd suggest picking something rather large and successful which you can pull out pretty big problems with.

It's always a good thing to give you a lot to talk about how it could be improved as well as why it's successful regardless of its downfalls.

No worries Good choice by the way; it's an institution run primarily through aid if I remember right so another spin to put on the assignment
